What is mixed mode authentication in ASP.NET?

Mixed mode authentication in an asp.net web application has the ability to feature both Forms Authentication and Windows Authentication to the end user.

In such a web application, the website user is identified based on whether the user is accessing the site from within the local domain or an external domain. When the user is from within the domain, Windows Authentication is applied and thus, the user can be configured to have higher authorization rights. The users logging into the web application from an external domain access the site using Forms authentication.

But this is tricky!!! For such an application to work, there needs to be 2 virtual directories setup for the web application on the IIS. This is because an asp.net web application cannot be set to two different authentication modes.
