Anonymous Access Configuration

Anonymous access is a feature that allows unnamed users to access data in the repository via

• Composite Views
• Reports
• Generic Update Display and Edit (GIDE)
• Custom Views

Anonymous access is achieved by defining one or more ArchiUser items with the "can be anonymous" property set to "YES"

Warning: Anonymous sessions will not "time out". However, you can terminate them from the Sessions Report

Anonymous Composite Views

To link to an anonymous composite view, you must use the "ArchiCompViewAnon" class, with the following CGI variables:

• CompView="The name of the Composite View Instance"
• Node="The name of the instance the composite view must focus on as a starting point"

A typical anonymous composite view link will therefore look as follows:

<A HREF="http://inspired.dnsalias.net/ABTWSAC.EXE/ArchiCompViewAnon?CompView=Application+System+-+Graham+(2004-01-12-23.55.53.000000)&Node=Reservations" TARGET="CompView">

Anonymous Reports

To link to an anonymous report view, you must use the "ArchiReportAnon" class, with the following CGI variables:

• Report="The name of the Report Instance"

A typical anonymous report link will therefore look as follows:

<A HREF="http://inspired.dnsalias.net/ABTWSAC.EXE/ArchiReportAnon?Report=Business Process System Support" TARGET="REPORT">

Anonymous GIDE Acces

In order to use anonymous GIDE access, you need to create a user with GIDE as his default browser, and the correct Start Type and Start Item, then simply create an anonymous link for that user. To create an anonymous user link, you must use the "ArchieAnonymous" class, with the following CGI variables:

• <"The userid">

A typical anonymous user link will therefore look as follows:

<A HREF="http://inspired.dnsalias.net/ABTWSAC.EXE/ArchieAnonymous?<GIDEUser>" TARGET="GIDEANON">

Anonymous Custom Views

In order to use anonymous custom view access, you need to create a user with the relevant custom view as his default browser,  then simply create an anonymous link for that user. To create an anonymous user link, you must use the "ArchieAnonymous" class, with the following CGI variables:

• <"The userid">

For example, if we had a custom view called ProjectView and we created created an anonymous user id called ProjectAnon and made its default browser, the custom view anonymous user link would look as follows:

<A HREF="http://inspired.dnsalias.net/ABTWSAC.EXE/ArchieAnonymous?<ProjectAnon>>
