ICEC / HCEC anonymous page not working

Hi, I tested ICEC full version with anonymous pages today. So I created an anonymous page and tried to access with /xcc/global?page=pagename

I get an empty white page and the log shows certificate path errors.

Tested 8.0CR8 and CFix.70.2403, there is a DA KB0093271 showing a similar error, but this was fixed in CFix.70.2110, so looks like a regression bug.

Additionally when I test the same with a Spnego enabled system, I get a basic auth popup, as it redirects to /homepage/login

So the functionality is broken at least with the tested versions.

Steps:

Enable ICEC Full and set CEC-READER (if you have the full license), create a page with a news widget and add a blog.

Now open the page in a private browser tab /xcc/global?page=pagename

Does this work for you?

Regards

Christoph

Hi Christoph, I did a quick test and after enabling anonymous mode, I see blank page after accessing

/xcc/global?page=anon

Did this ever work for you in any 8.0 level? We'll probably need a case on this to troubleshoot this further.

Hi Alejandra
It worked with 6.5 and it seemed to have worked in early 7 (as the DA fixes the access). I tried in 8, after we found it is broken again in 7.CFix.2403
The Spnego part makes it even worse, it seems homepage/login was changed.
