What is extending sharepoint webapplicaiton?
Let's take an example to understand this concept.
Assume we have two sharepoint site but the content of both sites are same. Here the question raises do we need to create the same content for both the sites or is there any possibility that sharepoint infrastructure provide us some mechanism to handle this in elegant way.
so here comes the concept of extending the sharepoint web applicaion:
Expose the same content to two different set of users with different URL's and with different authentication will use the concept of extending sharepoint web applicaiton.
Each Web app will assign to corresponding IIS web site and when it get extended it will create another web applicaiton and inturn it create new IIS web site as well.
The extended web app will use the same content DB as with the main web app(here we can call it as parent web applicaiton), since it will create its own IIS web site it will be having its own Web.config file.
This concept will be handy when parent site use windows authentication and extended site uses form based authentication
Note: By default extended web applicaiton uses the same authentication as with the parent site, but we can change it as per the requirement.
