How do I unprotect a webscript? authentication = none doesn't appear to work. My webscript accesses avn nodes in protected area. If that's the problem where do I have to go to unprotect those specific nodes. This is 2.1 codebase.
Web Scripts will never allow you to bypass security policies set in the Repository.
If you're accessing data in the repository, you'll need at least guest authentication, but you'll only be able to access stuff that's been explicitly granted to guest.
