IIS settings & windows authentication

[hharry]

Hello All,

I have an internal intranet asp.net application. Anybody in the firm
should be able to access it, but certain pages are restricted, based
on an assigned role - using the SqlMembershipProvider.

When a user accesses the site, I don't want to redirect them to a
login page or prompt them for a username/password - what are the
proper settings in IIS for this (or the web.config) ?

e.g.
Do I need to enable anonymous access or check the Windows
Authentication box ?

Thanks in advance!

You enable anonymous access and disable Windows autnetication, which a not
wise course becuase of secuirty reason on the domain, but it's not my
project.

Since it's an Intranet, I'm curious as to why you're side-stepping
Windows authentication? It's trivial to put page in folders and then
apply the proper permissions to the folder.
