Nice article from Andrew on how to provide two access points to a publishing site created with MOSS 2007.

While the article explains how to do it for a MOSS 2007 Publishing Site, this technique will work for any site based off WSS v3. It walks you through the steps of:

  • Setting up and configuring a data store to keep the Internet user's credentials
  • Creating two Web applications, one for each authentication mechanism
  • Configuring the Web applications to communicate with the data store
  • Enabling Forms Authentication on one Web application
  • Enabling anonymous access
  • Configuring a section of the site for authenticated users only
