Anonymous Users and Users in Active Directory of Corporate network Configuration in Sharepoint

Hi Ann,


Below are my suggestions.


1. Your SharePoint site should be accessible through internet. Usually we have a DMZ where the web servers are kept and can serve the internet traffic. So make sure your SharePoint Farm is accessible through internet.


2. If its an on premises environment, you have to write a custom control or webpart, which runs with elevated privileges (SharePoint terminology of impersonation) which allows anonymous users to submit forms.


3. Create your SharePoint web application with Windows Authentication, which your ADDS users will use to login. Now extend this web application to the 'Internet' zone, and allow anonymous access on this extended web app. This will be served for internet traffic, which will not prompt for user credentials.


4. If you have an extended web app with only anonymous access, this problem will be solved.


However, once you extend your web app, you will have a different url. Hope this information helps.
