A bug in Alfresco 1.4?

[montoni]

Hi,

I tried to add a content by uploading an image. Then I created a content and added the url of the image I uploaded. I followed the instructions of this thread:
http://forums.alfresco.com/viewtopic.php?t=4630&highlight=

Well, my problem is that when I add the "?guest=true" in the end of the image url, alfresco logs me out as admin and logs me in as guest. Is this a bug in Alfresco?

I am using Alfresco 1.4.

Any ideas?

Thanks!
Mariella.

This is actually expected behaviour, when you put guest=true you are logging in as the guest user so the session you had as admin has been lost, hence the requirement to re-login.

However, there is a solution, use the guestDownload servlet instead, see details here: http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/URL_Addressability#GuestDownloadContentServlet
