web.config authentication mode

[John A Grandy]

The following makes no sense to me ... what am I misunderstanding ?

----------------------------------------------------------------------

web.config

<configuration>
<system.web>
<authentication mode="Windows"></authentication>

IIS Web Site properties - check "Anonymous access" , check "Integrated
Windows authentication"

perform iisreset

http://localhost successful

----------------------------------------------------------------------

web.config

<configuration>
<system.web>
<authentication mode="None"></authentication>
<authorization>
<allow users="*"/>
</authorization>

IIS Web Site properties - uncheck "Anonymous access" , check "Integrated
Windows authentication"

perform iisreset

http://localhost give error :

"Security permissions are misconfigured on this machine. Turn off anonymouse
access, turn on NTLM, and protect the directory with permissions to restrict
access to authorized people only."
