Anonymous Users

If the Anonymous module is enabled, anonymous users can log into Access Manager without providing a password. The default anonymous user is anonymous, but you can change this name or define a list of anonymous users by setting the following realm attributes in the Access Manager Administration Console:

• Valid Anonymous Users specifies a list of user IDs that you want to have anonymous access.

• Default Anonymous User Name allows you to specify a name other than the default value of anonymous. This name is used if the Valid Anonymous User list is empty.

• Case Sensitive User IDs specifies that anonymous user IDs must case-sensitive. By default, user IDs are not case-sensitive.

• Authentication Level limits anonymous users to specific types of access, such as read and search only. The default value is 0.

These attributes apply to a realm, so you can set different anonymous access attributes to specific realms.

For information about enabling the Anonymous module and creating anonymous users, see the Access Manager Console online Help.
