Anonymous access to Portal Component over direct URL.

Question

Hi All,
Im having a few Issues with enabling anonymous access to a portal component.
Here is a mock of our portalapp.xml file
<?xml version="1.0"  encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<application>
  <application-config>
    <property name="SharingReference" value="usermanagement, knowledgemanagement, landscape, htmlb, exportalJCOclient, exportal"/>
    <property name="startup" value="true"/>
    <property name="releasable" value="true"/>
    <property name="Vendor" value="com.ourdomain"/>
    <property name="SecurityArea" value="OurSecurityArea"/> -->
  </application-config>
  <components>
    <component name="MyComponent">
      <component-config>
        <property name="ClassName" value="com.ourdomain.MyClass"/>
        <property name="ComponentType" value="servlet"/>
        <property name="SafetyLevel" value="no_safety"/>
      </component-config>
      <component-profile/>
    </component>
  </components>
  <services/>
</application>
I want to be able to access the servlet over a URL like...
http://host:port/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/MyApp.MyComponent
I have added the Default User Group Everyone to the no_safety area of our com.ourDomain Security Zone.
However when try to navigate to the URL we are first faced with a SAP Portal login page. on successful login the servlet is then shown.
Note: I was able to get the Same Servlet working within an iView when the iViews Authentification Scheme was set to anonymous...However i am under instruction to get it working without the iView...
As Background, The servlet is to be a sink for accepting data sent via an HTTP Post.
Any help with this or pointers in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Darrell,
Thankyou for that, yes it has helped....And I can now access the servlet directly without need to login.
I figured that there was something that i was missing.....
