Anonymous User Overview

Hi,
We currently have a portal with several registered users but would like to grant access to guests to give them a 'read only' view of the portlal. I've heard of the anonymous user which sounds like the ideal thing but can't find an overview of how the anonymous user works.
Search results just reveal methods that can be used and what level of content personalisation a tracked anonymous, untracked anonymous.... users get. Could anyone point me in the right direction for info on how to set up the login, web.xml etc.
Users currently log in using
<form method="POST" action="j_security_check" name="login">
How would an anonymous user log in?
Thanks in Advance,
Alex.

Why would you need your anonymous user to login?
If you are running in streaming mode, you could entitle certain portlets to the "anonymous" role, which is a built-in role. Those portlets would only show for anonymous users. Other portlets can be entitled to specific roles that you create, or to the OOTB "Authenticated user" role.
Hope this helps.

WPC - MIME object in web article with anonymous user doesn't work correctly

Hi all,
we have a problem with the Web Page Composer (NW07 SP14 + Patch 01) and contents for anonymous users.
We have define a site with the following elements: article (with text and jpg), paragraph (with text and pdf link) and a jpg image. All texts and the "standalone" jpg (not used in article/paragraph) are displayed correctly. The jpg in the article and the pdf link does not work correctly ("broken" link, PDF link requires a login name ?).
The direct image in the website has the following link:
<server>/irj/go/km/docs/wpccontent/Sites/alogis_v01_home/Site%20Content/graphics/bild01.jpg
(short url is turned off for error search...)
The jpg in the article has the following link (this is the same jpg as the previous picture bild01.jpg):
<server>/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/docs/guid/10c76155-d8c8-2a10-a4a5-fa0a0c7246fc
And the PDF link is:
<server>/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/docs/guid/707470fb-e3c8-2a10-94b4-972b06419c40
For anonymous users the last two urls are not reachable. These urls require a login (the first link not). The links work correctly with a registered user, not with an anonymous user.
Does anybody have an idea? Is there someone who had this problem before and solved it?
Many thanks in advance.

Grant read permission on List for Anonymous user for public facing site in Sharepoint 2013 Online

I have a public facing SP site ( SP online 2013 with Office 365 ). There are certain app parts added to it which read data from a
custom list created on that site. By default anonymous users do not have read permissions list. I want users to see the list data without login in . I tried modifying the settings for anonymous users , however I am unable to do it as the "anonymous user"
permissions cannot be checked by me.
How do I provide read permissions to anonymous users?
Thanks in advance

once you make the web site online anonymous users get the read access to list.
You can add the list view webpart and show the details to anonymous users. In the below link i have added the announcement list view webpart to a page.

Access to WPC Web Pages by Anonymous Users?

Hello,
i want to give anonymous users access to Web Pages that were created with the Web Page Composer.
In did the following:
1. create the Web Pages,Site Navigation etc....
2. edited the permissions of the site: grant anonymous users Read Access.
3.included the site navigation into the navigation of the anoymous users
When i access the portal as anonymous users and try to open a Web Page, i get a logon screen for Authentification.
I think that there is a problem, that i didn't find any way to set the Authentification Scheme for these Web Pages to "Anonymous". This is the way it has to be done with other iViews.
When i am accessing the page with an authenticated users, i have no problem with displaying the same Web Pages.
Is there anywhere an attribute i need to set? Or is it currently not supported?
Regards,
Marcus

1. Configuration in PCD - go to Content Administration -> Portal Content-> Portal Content -> Web Page Composer -> Container iViews -> WPC
Default Containers. All of the iViews in this location should have the
"anonymous" authentication scheme. The next location which should be
checked is Content Administration -> Portal Content -> Portal Content ->Web Page Composer -> iView Templates. Again all of the iViews should
have the "anonymous" authentication scheme. The same applies to all the
templates which reside in Content Administration -> Portal Content ->
Portal Content -> Web Page Composer -> Page Layout Templates. Finally
check if all the pages which reside in Content Administration -> Portal
Content -> Portal Content -> Web Page Composer -> Page Layouts have the
"anonymous" authentication scheme.
2. Configuration in KM - make sure that all the pages, which should be
displayed to an anonymous user have in their permissions the Anonymous
Users Group.
3. Security zones - if you go to System Administration -> Permissions ->Security Zones -> com.sap.nw.wpc -> wpc -> no_safety and you open the
permissions of this object, the Anonymous Users group must be added in
the list.
If all mentioned objects have their setting as described and you still
experience problems (e.g. you see a browser dialog window for
authentication), the reason most probably is, that the KM is not
configured for anonymous access. A full description of the needed steps
is provided with note 837898.

List View Web Part anonymous users paging is broken

Hi I checked that list view web part do not work for anonymous users with paging. wanted to check if its known bug or there is some intention to keep it like that.
Rohit Pasrija

Hi,
According to your description, there is an issue that if the paging is configured for a list view web part, it will be broken for anonymous users.
I tried to reproduce this issue with the steps below, however, all work without issue.
1. Enable anonymous access in Web Application level;
2. Enable anonymous access in site collection level;
3. By default, the permission settings of a list inherit the permissions from its parents, that’s say, anonymous access also enabled in the current list, “Anonymous
Users” can “View Items”;
4. Set paging for the “AllItems” view, add this list as a web part into a page, the paging works as expected for anonymous users.
I suggest you create a new Web Application and configure to enable anonymous access following the steps above to see if the issue still exists.
Thanks

Errors while consuming secured portlet on anonymous user

Hello,
I'm trying to configure security end-to-end Portlet as in this link http://fusionsecurity.blogspot.com/2010/09/hands-on-wsrp-security-in-oracle-fusion_04.html.
I got WSRP security with authenticated users, but when I try to consume the portlet on anonymous users (unauthenticated), I receive the error below:

We have the following usecase:
1) Created an ADF application with one JSP page and converted to portlet.
2) Created a consumer application (Webcenter Portal Framework Application).
3) In the consumer app, created a WSRP connection for this portlet (to register the producer).
- In the "Configure Security Attributes" in the WSRP portlet producer wizard, we have selected the following:
- Token Profile: WSS 1.0 SAML Token with Message Protection
- Configuration: Default
- Default user: anonymous
4) Drag and drop the portlet on the consumer page and run.
Would anyone tell me how do I set the permission for an anonymous user?
Thanks.

I’ve set ADF Security for my Portlet Application following the steps below:
Create an Enterprise Role ‘Participante’. (The authenticated user has this group 'Participante' in LDAP)
Create an Application Role ‘participante-role’ and map to the enterprise role ‘Participante’.
Assign ‘participante-role’ to Web Page or Task Flow in Resources Grants.
Those steps work well when I am using Task Flows. If I use Portlets based on Page instead of Task Flow, the security does not work.
I have already tested the second option (create a guest user). The problem here is that the user has the authenticated-role associated to it.
Thanks for help.

Anonymous User forms in Sharepoint 2013 Online (Office 365)

I'm using Sharepoint 2013 online with Office 365.
Is there any way for an anonymous user to communicate with the site using forms (preferably Infopath)?
There are many, many versions of this question on the web, but most answers seem to talk about features I just don't have in Office 365 Sharepoint - such as Application Management in Central Administration, which just isn't there.
The only feature I can find is the Excel Survey in Form Templates. This is at least a start, but what I really want is the ability for an anonymous user (a customer) to submit information into a Custom List using a form; or, second best, in an email (WITHOUT
having to have Infopath Filler installed). this is all do-able for a fully-subscribed user of the intranet site, but I can't afford to buy individual subscriptions for all my customers. Nor do I want them seeing each other's data, or accessing my intranet!
I have spent so long researching this and getting nowhere, and really need to know if it's just a straight 'no, it's impossible', or keep trying.
Thanks
Jonathan

Hi Jonathan,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to enable anonymous user with forms in SharePoint 2013 Online.
There is a Sandbox solution from CodePlex, it manages anonymous access on Office 365 / SharePoint 2013. Please have a try.
https://anonymous365.codeplex.com/
In addition, I am not an expert for SharePoint 2013 Online, I suggest you create a new thread on SharePoint Online forum, more experts will assist you with SharePoint Online.

There are many, many versions of this question on the web. Several lead to
http://claytoncobb.wordpress.com/2011/06/03/infopath-allowing-anonymous-users-to-submit-forms-in-sharepoint-2010/, but this is about Sharepoint 2010, not 2013. Other answers talk about features that are not in Sharepoint online 2013, such as Application
Management in Central Administration. There is also a Sandbox solution from CodePlex that gets touted,
https://anonymous365.codeplex.com/, but this fails in Sharepoint Online 2013.

Thanks pramod7
Yes, I am using the public site. But unless I'm missing something, Custom Lists (and associated forms) cannot be exposed to anonymous users. They are just not in the permissions list.
I can create a page in the public site and add a Form Templates web part. The options I then get for creating a new form in the Form Templates library are Word Document, Excel Workbook, Powerpoint Presentation, One Note Notebook or Excel Survey. An
InfoPath form is not an option. None of these (as far as I can see) allow for any data entered in the 'form' by a user to be stored in a Custom List for further processing. Most require the user to have Word/Excel/whatever on their machine, rather than
just use the browser. The nearest you get is the Excel Survey, which at least regularises the data entered by an anonymous user into columns in a spreadsheet, but this is not sophisticated enough for, say, an online ordering system in which you would not want
customers seeing each other's orders.

WPC content for anonymous user

Dear SDNites
We have recently started a project in which we are using Web Page Composer(WPC) for web content development. We have configured the WPC content for anonymous users. After the configurations, anonymous users could access this content without entering any user id and password. But after the restart of the portal, it started prompting login screens even for the anonymous users.We have checked all the required configurations and these seem fine to me. Can you please help me on how to resolve this issue?

Authorization Issue with Custom Pending Value Object and Anonymous Users

Hi,
I am just converting my demo from version 7.1 to 7.2. I am not doing upgrade. The demo uses a custom pending value object USER_REQUEST. The idea is that new employee goes to Java AS as anonymous user and enters her details and store where she will work. After submitting request there is an approval process using custom entry type USER_REQUEST. If the request is approved then IdM converts USER_REQUEST into MX_PERSON entry. This works nice in 7.1 but I am having problems with replicating this in 7.2. I created new UI task accessible by anonymous that creates new USER_REQUEST entry. I also assigned role idm.anonymous with UME action idm_anonymous to UME built in group Anonymous users.
My problem is with the field STORE. This field is a reference field to another custom entry type STORE (this entry type will be used in context based assignment). Every new employee must selects a store where she will work. The problem is when user clicks on button "Select". Web dynpro terminates and returns authorization error. I also tested this with entry type MX_ROLE. I added attribute MXREF_MX_ROLE and same issue. So it seems that just assigning UME action idm_anonymous is not enough to list objects from identity store. I found a workaround for this issue. When I assign also UME action idm_authenticated to Anonymous users then it does not dump and I get a pop up window where I can search for store. It does not seem right to assign idm_authenticated to anonymous users.
Another issue is with display task for entry type USER_REQUEST. I assigned a display task to entry STORE and I set that Anonymous have access to this task in Access control tab. I assigned default value to the field store. So when a user opens page she can see a hyper link to display already assigned store. When user clicks on this hyper link it opens a new pop up window and user must authenticate against Java AS. After successful authentication the display task for entry STORE is displayed. I would assume that anonymous user can display it without authentication.
So to me it seems like authorization checks have been changed in 7.2 versions and are more strict for anonymous tasks. Hence my question is how can I implement my scenario. Am I missing some configuration or what's the proper solution to my two issues? I don't count assigning idm_authenticated to Anonymous users as a solution. This workaround does not solve my second issue.
Thanks

Some of the folks from Trondheim labs check, but rather infrequently. There's another person who I guess is in consulting that also checks from time to time.
Sorry I can't help you with your main question...

Anonymous user can't access WPC pages in TREX search result list

An anonymous user can use TREX service to enter query string in search iView and to get the list of results.
But when he tries to open a page (web_paragraph or web_article ) generated by WPC (by clicking on the page link in result list) a logon screen appears in a popup window.
The URL of the window is /irj/servlet/prt/prtroot/... rather than irj/go/km/u2026 .
How to work around this?
At the same time he can see Word, Excel documents and XML Forms (News).
We use light framework.

Hi
You need to change PCD Permission for the objects the anonymous used.
And change the parametrer Authentication Scheme to Anonymous.
Good Luck

WPC for Anonymous user

Dear All,
We are on SAP NW 7.3 and trying to provide the WPC page for anonymous users.
Have designed the WPC content, connected to a role and gave the role to anonymous user, but when we go to portal
http://<host>:<port>/irj/portal/anonymous it gives a logon page. To resolve the issue have gone thru all the posts and recommendations but still the same error.
Tried to follow the blog 'Webpage composer Anonymous User access' but in NW 7.3 can find the PCD location 'WebpageComposer', - but in templates we have the WPC Templates and have given the required permissions
Also the security zones are changed.
Has it something to do with the 'Staging Area' folder (Navigating through the role Accesible Area Management -> content Editor), because when we create any new Area/Page(WPC Area/Page) it creates the same in this folder, which is present as a KM Folder. This folder does not allow to set the permissions (Accesible Area Management -> Content Library -> Staging Area -> Details -> Permissions)
Your valuable suggestions would really help me to resolve this issue.
Thanks,
Srv

Dear All,
Got the reply from SAP to perform the below steps and its working fine for us.. just in case any one of you needs this info.
1. Add the "authentication scheme" property to the WPC design time page template: a. Go to "System Administration" ' "Content Model Management" ' "Property Classification" b. Under "Object Type" select "Page" c. Under "Template" select "WPC Design Time Page" d. Under "Available Properties" locate "Authentication Scheme" and add it to the "Selected Properties" 2. Go to the Area Management Role and locate the area and the page that you would like to be available to anonymous users 3. Set End User permissions for "Anonymous" group on the area 4. Publish the page(s) and the area 5. Navigate to "Content Administration". Make sure the "Area Management"role isn't open in some other tab or browser window 6. In the Portal Content Catalog, locate the role which is available to anonymous users and has the WPC area connected to it. 7. Open the role, open the connection 8. For each page under the workset (area): a. Open the page b. For each iview and page under the page, open the iview/page and navigate to its properties: i. Locate the "Authentication Scheme" property and change it to "anonymous" ii. Save the object iii. For pages, open the page and perform the same process for each iview under the page iv. Save

Login Page coming for Anonymous User

Hi All,
we have configured anonymous user for our portal. Created a role for anonymous access - added pages and iViews under that. All the iViews and pages are modified with authentication scheme property to Anonymous.
Now when we access the portal with the url http://host:port/irj its showing the login box in the top part of the page and in the bottom part its showing the anonymous role which we created.
Let me tell you what we have done...
Created role, iViews for Anonymous role, set the authentication property to 'Anonymous'.
In Visual Admin-> Server-> Services-> UME Provider set the variable ume.login.anonymous_user.mode to 1.
Variable ume.login.basicauthentication to 1.
Variable ume.login.guest_user.uniqueids to Guest.
Then we have updated the index.html file under <drive>:\usr\sap\<SID>\<instance_number>\j2ee\cluster\serverX\apps\sap.com\irj\servlet_jsp\irj\root .. we changed
<b><body onload="location.replace('portal' + document.location.search)"></body></b>
to <b><body onload="location.replace('servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.portal.navigation.portallauncher.anonymous' + document.location.search)"></body></b>
But now when a guest user accesses the portal http://host:port/irj it gived the strange screen (logon + content page) as I described earlier.
Please let us know where are we missing...
thanks & regards,
Shubhadip

5 I checked the masthead iview also.. It aslo has authentication scheme anonymous
When I try accessing the iView in the form <http/https>://<server>:<port>/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/pcd!3aportal_content!2fmyfolder!2fmyiView
I am able to view it without any login..
