+1  Q: 

WindowsIdentity.GetAnonymous()

Hi

Could you please explain me what is the anonymous identity used for? As far as I know windows does not have an anonymous account type ?!

Kind Regards PK

+1  A: 

The anonymous user is usually mapped to a guest account, or can be associated in IIS with any account you choose in order to control permissions for an unauthenticated user.
