Disabling Guest page in 3.4d

I have installed Alfresco 3.4d into an existing tomcat 1.6 installation on Fedora linux.  I would like to turn off the Guest page and force everyone to log in.  The wiki suggests using Jconsole so I opened a shell window and ran jconsole but couldn't see any Attributes tab nor any of the attributes mentioned in the wiki.

I then scoured the forums and found references to a property called 'allowGuestLogin' in the authentication-services-context.xml file.  However when I search inside the file in the directory webapps/alfresco/WEB-INF/classes/alfresco there is no such property.

I have grep'd *.xml in this directory to see if this property has been moved to another file but it doesn't appear to exist in any of them.

BTW this is a fresh install without any modifications to whatever authentication configuration the product is delivered with.

Can anyone point me in the right direction.

Many thanks,
David

The property is alfresco.authentication.allowGuestLogin.

You will put it into your alfresco-global.properties with a value of false.

Setting the property by JConsole is for the Enterprise version only.
