Is it possible using IIS(version 6) to have both Anonymous and integrated

By this I mean can it do intergrated authentication when the credentials
exist, but if they don't allow an anonymous connection? (For a single URL)


Yes, IIS supports such "fallback" authentication protocol, but only if
the Web Service Client initiates it.

If the WebService Client always tries Integrated First and if it
fails, retry with Anonymous, then you can simply configure IIS6 Web
Service to allow both Anonymous and Integrated.

If you cannot control the client, then you will have to write and run
custom software on the server to enforce such proprietary behavior.
There are no standard authentication protocol which works like this.
