I acknowledge the fact that anonymous contradicts with the authentication
method I use for my server

I would like that if the IIS detects anonymous user, it replaces it with a
predifined account on our domain/local users. Then I could leave anonymous
OFF and could still detect an anonymous user?

Is ISA server any help with this wierd question?

(the reason for this question:
Our company is removing some smaller companies of the domain. But stil want
them to use some of our intranet for recalling data. They will enter through
the internet.
My application is build on recognising the users by thyer logon name.
anonymous users cannot be detected because they get the popup.
