I think what's happening is that Integrated authentication is being used because Anonymous
authentication is being denied access to a resource. You need to set up NTFS file permissions
correctly for the Anonymous account that you are attempting to impersonate.

The fact that you're being denied access when using Anonymous access exclusively would indicate that
the Anonymous account does not have sufficient permissions to access the web application resources.
