Documents are stored at Windows SharePoint services.
WSS is placed in other folder then project server, and it could be even at
different site or virtual server. It depends on your server configuration,
and settings you have entered during installation.
Documents tab in project server is only interface to Document Library that
is actually in WSS. It is same with Risks, and Issues list. You can enter to
those lists directly through WSS interface.
When you changed directory security to allow anonymous access on
projectserver folder, you probably didn't change security on asp pages,
which actually verify your credentials, so you were able to logon to Project
Server. Project server checks your credentials only during Login process.
But when you try to access to some information on WSS, they check your
credentials again, and since you are for project server authenticated as
Grant, and for web server you are anonymous user you have to login to WSS
again.

How does authentication occur when you try and access the shared document
folder. I am getting an authentication dialog box even though I gave full
rightsallow anonymous access. This enabled me to log into the site. I am still
getting a request to authenticate when I try and access the public folder
under the documents tab.
