I have a website that will:
1) Authenticate local intranet users automatically
2) But still allow *all* users to use the website (they just get different privileges).
The *only* way I have been able to get the Identity of the user visiting the website, is if I put:
  
<authorization>
<deny users="?"/>
</authorization> 
In my web.config.  I don't understand what, exactly, that means though, and that bothers me.  Will this allow any user to visit the website?  If I *dont* have this line in the config, than HttpContext.User.Identity is anonymous and has no authorization information (no user name, etc).  Can anyone clarify what's going on here?
