Hi,
this should really work. Try here: http://www.opsoro.org/alfresco/n/browse/workspace/SpacesStore/1ea1e3cf-0a45-11dd-959a-f924e13b7513?guest=true
it is an Community Network - v2.9.0 (C_dev 816)…
Cheers, Jan

jpfi, try this:

go to your link : OK it works I'm logged in as a guest.
go to the login page (where my link to the guest home is) and now try pasting your link on the address bar -> you're redirected to the login page…
So basically it doesn't work if you've already been at least once "inside" alfresco… 😞

should I submit an issue concerning this? or is it considered a "valid" behavior? (I doubt it…)

ps: if you delete manually the JSESSION cookie you can go to the guest home as many times as you like…
