Subject: How do I create a web app that starts with anonymous authentication but gives the ability for ssl authenticated session
Well, I am somewhat confused.
SSL has nothing to do with authentication. That is, you can have an anonymous session that uses SSL (https://…) and you can have authenticated sessions using a standard http:// connection. SSL only determines whether the pipeline is encrypted, not whether the user is authenticated.
As far as I can see, the issues are apples and oranges.

You are right !I will explain better my needs.
I have a normal http site where a user can login to go to a https site.
I want the user to be logged in between; I mean that on the http login form, he enters both name and pwd, and when he submits, the non-http server redirects him directly to his personnal db on a https site.
Does anyone know if it’s possible ?
Thanks in advance.

That right. https and http are protocols. Login is authentication.
Just change your login link/button to go to a document with reader security using ssl like https://servername/database/view/document.
