Configuring anonymous authentication

Anonymous authentication allows anyone to access public information that is available for viewing on the Spotfire web client without prompting them for a user name or password.

1. Open a command line and export the active server configuration by using the export-config command; for additional information, see Executing commands on the command line.
2. On the command line, enter the following command:

   config config-anonymous-auth --enabled=true

   For details on the command, see config-anonymous-auth.
3. Enter the following command to enable the guest account:

   config enable-user --username=ANONYMOUS\guest

   For details on the command, see enable-user.
4. Import the configuration back to the Spotfire database by using the import-config command.
5. Restart the Spotfire Server.
