How to create a public site in alfresco share 4.0.b

[usantra]

Hi everyone,

I have created a site by selecting 'Public'. and added few documents in the document library. Now i want to allow users to access those document publically, without login to the share website. Please help me out with this. As the word mentioned public that means we should able to view the document or post without any login credentials.

In alfresco-global.properties file did the following changes:
# Guest Login
alfresco.authentication.allowGuestLogin=true

Thanks & Regards,
Uma

Thanks sujay,

I already went through this document and created the public site using that. what i need is anybody who is not a user of web site can access the content or document. So to read any document he don't have to login into the website. Could you please let me know the setting which cam enable this feature.

Thanks & Regards,
Uma

Hi Uma,

I don't think Alfresco OOTB provides such feature. Even a guest user has to enter username/pwd if alfresco.authentication.allowGuestLogin=true is set.
If you set that property to false 'guest' user will not be able to login into Alfresco. It doesn't make any sense to allow a user to bypass the security layer of Alfresco and access content.


Thanks,

Hi,

Suppose if the added content belong to News Room then it is not at all necessary to login and view the news. As this is made for public.
Is this possible in Alfresco share or is there any other way to do it?

Thanks & Regards,
