I have configured the Alfresco Server for our data and am quite pleased with the Community Edition. I have one outstanding issue, and that is the "Guest" account.
The user "Guest" is disabled in the "Users and Groups" under "Admin Tools". I cannot change the property from the web interface. I figure that when the "Guest" account is enabled, there isn't a login page; or is there? Can you just login as guest (without a password)? Currently, I can login with all users except the "Guest" user.
Maybe I just don't understand what the "Guest" account is all about where it can and cannot be used.
I am using the built in authentication and that is our only option.
I have placed the following in the "\tomcat\shared\classes\alfresco-global.properties" file.
authentication.chain=alfrescoNtlm1:alfrescoNtlm
ntlm.authentication.sso.enabled=false
ntlm.authentication.mapUnknownUserToGuest=true
ntlm.authentication.browser.ticketLogons=true
ntlm.authentication.sso.fallback.enabled=false
alfresco.authentication.authenticateCIFS=false
alfresco.authentication.allowGuestLogin=true
I have put "ntlm-filter-context.xml" (without any changes from the default) in "tomcat\shared\classes\alfresco\extension\subsystems\Authentication\alfrescoNtlm\alfrescoNtlm1\"
I can't seem to find any information of what else I need to do to enable "Guest" access.
