Anonymous User & UI Commands for Roles

Hi,
in our portal we have an anonymous User.
For this user we created a special layout set without ui commands like 'give feedback' etc.
Now we have following problem:
In the default details dialog are display amongst others the details area 'overview_feedback' and 'overview_review'.
About this areas is the anonymous user able to give feedback and write review.
My questions:
Why appears 'give_feedback' on the details area 'overview_feedback', although the anonymous has no rights for the ui command? The ui command is restricted for a special role, which is only assigned to authenticated users.
Is it possible to display different details dialogs depending on roles groups or users?
Is is possible to make the visibility form details areas depending on role (like the same way for ui commands)?
Best regards,
Arnold Gallemann

Hi Arnold,
   You should read: Advanced concepts in Metadata properties in KM, it can be downloaded from here.
   It's very good material.
   All information that appear in Details screen can be modified or changed.
   You can use resource type in order to determinate which kind screen you want to show.
In details command you can use as parameters resource type in this way you will have differents screen.
   Again, read this material.

Picture and text for anonymous user: picture is asking user id and password

Hi all,
I created one html page in KM. In that one picture and some text is there.
Given anonymous user & group permission for picture and html..
created one KM document Iview given the path.
Iview is assigned to Page, Page to role(Given anonymous authorization for iview and page) and Role is assigned to anonymous group.
when I see the preview its asking user/pwd for Picture not for text. If I discord pic is not displaying....
How to display Pic and text in one page, how to maintain the permissions
Thanks
Polaka

Hello Polaka,
You need to carefully go through all the recommendations from SAP note 837898 and make sure you have followed everything in the note exactly, most anonymous issues are caused when this note is not correctly implemented.
Regarding permissions, you should give your anonymous users at least read permissions on the picture which is being used as well as on the html file itself.

Disable rating service for anonymous user

Hi,
I'm trying to set permissions for anonymous users so they couldn't do anything else except displaying the documents in KM I want to disable their access to other services allowed for other users (e.g.. Subscription, Feedback, Discussion, Rating etc.).
What I made so far: I've set permissions and service permissions to the Folders, created role with added Authentificated Users group and I added this role to property Roles with visibility in System administration/System configuration/Knowledge management/Content management/User interface/Commands/UI commands. This way, I set command permissions for every command I thought the anonymous user could see.
Almost everything worked fine, i.e. anonymous user has disabled almost every unnecessary option, but he can still see Rating option in the context menu next to the file/folder. I set the permission to Rating UI command, but it didn't work.
Can anyone suggest what else could be done so the anonymous user won't be able to rate documents?

Thank you for your answer, but I know this note and I've done everything what's in it.
I have functional anonymous login and anonymous user can only display documents, search them and RATE them. But I can't figure out how to disable the rating service just for anonymous user, not other users.
That note won't help me with that.

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
<body onload="location.replace('portal' + document.location.search)"></body>
to <body onload="location.replace('servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.portal.navigation.portallauncher.anonymous' + document.location.search)"></body>
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

Image asking for Logon (Userid/Password) for an anonymous user

Hello,
 I have created the HTML file in Portal -> Content Administration-> KM Content -> root -> documents -> MyFolder which I have access through an KM Document iView which contains the text and image. Also I have changed the Authentication Scheme property of iView to anonymous for an anonymous user.
Now the problem is that when I click on the KM iView for an anonymous user, then I am able to see the text of the HTML file but image does not comes, instead it asks for Logon ie User Id and Password.
Can someone tell me how I can see both the image and text.
Best Regards,
Nivedita

Hi ,
I also faced the same problem .
Solved by doing the following.
Open the PCD Editor as Content Administrator: Content Administration > Portal Content > Portal Content > Portal Users > Standard Portal Users > Standard User Role > Open > Object
 a) Navigate to Home (note the tooltip "com.sap.km. home_ws") > Hidden > URL Access.
 b) Open all contained iViews (Basic Search, Details, Document, Highlighted Content) for editing
 c) Select the property category "Advanced"
 d) Change the property "Authentication Scheme" to "anonymous"
 e) Save your changes.

IView Personalization (Web Dynpro Java) for Anonymous User

Hello All,
Is it possible for anonymous user to see iView personalization (Web Dynpro Java) when personalized by an administrator? What I did was create new role and iView making available to anonymous user. This work fine meaning I can view iView using URL http://<servername>:<port>/irj/portal/anonymous . But the personalization I made to iView using administrator mode launching iView in preview mode and then using personalization dialog by choosing Ctrl and secondary mouse button to personalize is not showing. Iu2019m currently on EP7 SP15 and using iView type Web Dynpro Java for the development component sap.com/tcsecumewdenduser application name LogonHelpApp.
Any help is very much appreciated.
Many Thanks,
Gary

Hello Michael,
Yes, the Web Dynpro for Java Personalization is working perfect for non-anonymous users. The issue is when I view same iView using anonymous URL http://<servername>:<port>/irj/portal/anonymous the personalization is not showing just defaults back to the original Web Dynpro Java application settings. The iView that I created and personalized is the new Logon Help Dynpro Java application (LogonHelpApp). Is there some permissions that restricts anonymous user to view personalization?
Koti Reddy Iu2019m using the Web Dynpro for Java Administrator Personalization. Here is the documentation [http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/42/ed3ce7f8593eebe10000000a1553f7/frameset.htm |http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/42/ed3ce7f8593eebe10000000a1553f7/frameset.htm ]

Can we assign account for anonymous user

Hi,
Is this possible to assign account for the anonymous user using idoc script or by any rule concept.??
Thanks,
Abhijit

There is no straightforward out of the box way to do this.
Accounts are instrinsically linked directly to a user and not a role. There is a DefaultNetworkAccounts config variable but this only applies to users who have logged in.
Two options are
1) a Java filter on 'alterUserCredentials' there is an example of this in the HowToComponents SecurityFilter
2) User Credential Mapping (Not used this on 11g)
Go to Administration > Credential Maps
Create a new map with a Map Identifier of myMap
Add the following lines to the map
|#all|, %%
@|#all|, @%%
guest, @your_account(R)
Add the following to config.cfg and restart
ExternalCredentialsMap=myMap
This should pull through all other existing roles/accounts and for guests it should give them R permissions to your_account
Not tested it but from memory this should work
Enjoy

Edit The Logon Page for anonymous user

I am working on concept of anonymous user. For this I have created a Anon user group and it is working succesfully . Now i have to design a Logon page for this group of users.
Pls anybody help me out , becoz i have no idea that how to edit a logon page for a particular user .
Thanks in advance

Mayank Saxena

Hi
The portal provides a form of anonymous logon with u2018namedu2019 anonymous users. Named anonymous users are users that exist either in the user data store or as service users. You configure the names of these users in the UME properties. These users are automatically assigned to the group Anonymous Users. You can assign roles containing anonymous content to the users individually or to the group Anonymous Users.
Here is the reference link request you to go tru:

Web Dynpro iView for Anonymous user

Hi All,
I created a Web Dynpro iView based on local Web Dynpro application. I am trying to access this iView as a anonymous user. I have given Authentication mode as
"flase". In iView properties and Page properties Authentication Scheme is "anonymous". In all permissions I added "Anonymous Group" and given Read and End User permissions. After doing all these things Still it is prompting me for Login. My Server is 2004s SP 10.
Please Somebody tell me what I am missing.
Thank you
Joe

Hi Sreekanth,
I think you have to assign this iview to the standard user role which you can find under Portal content ->Portal users -> standard portal users -> Standard user role and assign this to group "Everyone" (if not already done).
Then you should be able to access this iview directly. Let me know if it works.
Thanks,
Hari

Welcomepage for anonymous user with KM elements

Hi @all,
maybe somebody can help us.
We want to use a separate Welcomepage for anonymous user.
Inside the element "welcomepage" (it is a page in pcd) we use a KM iview.
The KM iview is link to a html-file in the KM directory. The html-file is designed with the standard portal html editor and contains text an some pictures. The pictures are also elements (gif-files) in the same folder like the html-file.
The used KM iview has the property "auth.scheme = anonymous". That we have change.
The problem ist, that when the anonymous start the weblink (https://domian.com:port/irj/portal/anonymous) he get a popup window to login with usernam and password. We try it with the km iview without pictures, than everything is ok an no username an password is required.
But when we use the pictures inside the KM-document we have the problem with the authorization popup.
The used KM iview has the property "auth.scheme = anonymous". That we have change.
Have somedody a idea?
Thank´s for your answers.
Thomas

Hi Thomas,
You need to read SAP Note 837898.
Specifically for your issue, the following may resolve it:
u2022     Go to Content Administration > Portal Content > Portal Users > Standard Portal Users >Standard User Role > Open >Object
Navigate to Home(the tooltip should state u2018Knowledge Management Homeu2019)>Hidden>URL Access
u2022     Open the iView named KM Document iView
u2022      Change the property "Authentication Scheme" to anonymous and save changes.
Hope this helps,

Quick link for anonymous user

People,
Can somebody tell me how to use a quick link for anonymous user
I'm able to access this
http://<server>:<port>/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/pcd!3aportal_content!2fcom.caritor.Student!2fcom.caritor.iviews!2fKMNavigationview
but http://<server>:<port>/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/<quicklink> is not working.
Krishna Murthy

HI Michael,
I have one more qn for you.
Normally, when an iView set to anonymous users is opened(with the full pcd path), it opens up in a page directly without the role being displayed. (Like wat happens in the preview of an iView)
But when the quick link is used, it drills down the role and shows the iView. Is there any way to avoid the role being shown in this case?

Krishna Murthy

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.

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?
