Fine. </SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>But as soon as I do my first login as an authenticated user and then I logout and then I type again the </SPAN><STRONG>http://&lt;myserver&gt;/alfresco</STRONG><SPAN> URL, the application this time&nbsp; automatically redirects to the logon URL: </SPAN><STRONG>http://&lt;myserver&gt;/alfresco/faces/jsp/login.jsp</STRONG><SPAN>.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>So, is there a way to "force" the login as guest?

It can be restored from the Manage Delete Items page. You must restore the home space </SPAN><EM>before</EM><SPAN> enabling the user in the config again!</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>3) There are REST style URLs to retrieve content, templates, execute scripts etc. as Guest. But I don't think there's a way to force Guest if you have logged in previously - unless you clear your cookies in the browser.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Thanks,</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Kevin</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Fri, 06 Jul 2007 12:32:37 GMT https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/more-info-about-guest-users/m-p/109089#M76554 kevinr 2007-07-06T12:32:37Z
