    Hi,

    I need to develop a website which uses client certificates for silent login. But when a clinet does not issue a certificate, form based authentication should be used. Is this possible (since I read that for clinet certificates, in IIS Basic, Digest or Windows Integrated security should be enabled, while for form based authentication Anonymous access is needed.

    Regards, Ad

    Hi

    Base on my understanding , you want to protect your site using Secure channel with certificates. but those windows authentication methods get user identity with a challenge/response Authentication method, So all the people who deosn't have appropriate certificates will be redirect to a common html error page (say you are not authorizated to access this page).So I'm afraid you have to create another web site in order to use form based authentication.
