Setting Anonymous User

For resources on the not-enforced list, the default configuration does not allow the REMOTE_USER variable to be set. The not-enforced list refers to values assigned to the property labeled Not Enforced URLs (Tab: Application, Name: com.sun.identity.agents.config.notenforced.url)

To enable the REMOTE_USER variable to be set for not-enforced URLs, you must enable the web agent property labeled Anonymous User (Tab: Miscellaneous, Name: com.sun.identity.agents.config.anonymous.user.enable). By default, this value is not enabled.

When you enable this property, the value of REMOTE_USER is set to the value contained in the web agent property labeled Anonymous User Default Value (Tab: Miscellaneous, Name: com.sun.identity.agents.config.anonymous.user.id). By default, the value assigned to this property is anonymous.
