To allow anonymous access to a database, you can add the
Anonymous entry to the ACL and assign an access level to the Anonymous
entry.
About this task
Alternatively, you can remove the Anonymous entry from the
ACL and assign an access level to the Default entry in the ACL. When
the Anonymous entry is removed from the ACL, anonymous users receive
the access level and privileges assigned to the Default entry in the
database ACL. Use the following procedure to
allow anonymous users to access a database:
Procedure
- Open
the Sametime® Administration
Tool.
-
Select LDAP Directory.
- Select Access Control.
- Select a database from the list.
- Click the Advanced button.
- Set the Maximum Internet name & password access
to Manager, which is the maximum access level.
Note The Maximum
Internet name & password setting on the advanced panel
of each database Access Control List
(ACL) specifies the maximum database access level granted to
web browser clients. This setting overrides higher individual access
levels set in the ACL. For example, if you set the Maximum
Internet name & password to Author, and assign Editor
access to the Anonymous entry in the database ACL, anonymous users
will only have Author access to the database. Alternatively, if you
set the Maximum Internet name & password to
Manager, and assign Reader access to the Anonymous entry in the database
ACL, anonymous users will only have Reader access to the database.
- Click the Access button.
If the Anonymous entry exists in the ACL, select
the Anonymous entry and assign an access level (for example, Author).
Edit the default privileges if necessary.
If
the Anonymous entry does not exist in the ACL, users who access the
database anonymously receive the access level and privileges assigned
to the Default entry in the ACL.
If the
Anonymous entry does not exist in the ACL, the administrator also
has the option to create an Anonymous entry and assign an access level
and privileges. In this case, users receive the access level associated
with the Anonymous entry instead of the Default entry.
- Click Submit.
