Rob,
This case may by a bit tricky.
One of the security design considerations to take into account, should be to
rely as much as possible on the operating system security subsystem and
avoid whenever possible, creating your own custom solution. With this
premise in mind, you may try to set first the IIS authentication mode
(remember that ASP.NET is running over IIS, so the first security checkpoint
will be executed by IIS).
If you check Anonymous and NTLM/Kerberos as you auth methods, IIS will
first try to authenticate as Anonymous so you will always get the anonymous
access account. Remember that for IIS, there is no such an "Anonymous user",
so IIS will try to authenticate or not (if checked Anonymous) and it will
always run the ASP.NET worker process under some Windows account.
Based on this, your auth methods are incompatible for the same application
basically because you are using two different auth methods (Windows/AD and
Forms/Custom Resource) that where designed for different purposes.
