Web access

Dear all,

How can i access my database through the web without key in the server login username and password?. for example, everyone can access to this lotus website directly and it do not require any username and password unless we want to post a question.

Any help would be highly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

You should set the access in the acl to allow this. Default and Anonymous to e.g. Reader. Check the Internet access level in the ACL as well .

really thanks for your response, Kjeld Larsen.

By the way, it still can’t do the trick.

Any other idea?.

Thank you so much.

Hi Windy,

Are you sure you have set the ACL on the -Default- and created an Anonymous user, set it to Reader and remove the write public docs. How are your settings?

Have just tested it and its doing the trick.

thanks again, Kjeld.

yes, i had set the ACL on the default and created an Anonymous usre, set it to Reader and remove the write public docs. However it still can’t do the trick. The following is the steps that i had been done.

  1. Goto the File - Database - Open then choose an appropriate server

  2. Select the respective database

  3. Go to File - Database - Access Control

  4. Created Anonymous user

  5. Set it to Reader and Remove the write public docs for Default and Anonymous user.

is there any steps wrong?

Thanks in advance.

The steps you have laid out are correct, and will work. However, all you’ve told us about what’s going on is “it still can’t do the trick.” This tells us nothing about what url you are entering into the browser, what is happening or what is not happening. Answer those questions, and we should be able to help you.

really thanks for your response, Bruce.

Actually, i can get into the system but before that it prompt me a server login screen and i need to enter the username and password then i can access to the database. By the way, what i want is i can straight away go into the database without entering the username and password. my url is

http://test.com.my/portal.nsf

Really hope can get yours opinion.

Thanks in advance.

You’re saying that you have this ACL:

and you’re still being prompted to log in? The only way I can figure that that could happen would be if the launch property of the database points to a form or otherwise accesses a resource to which the Anonymous user has no access.

The server itself must not be configured to allow anonymous connections via http/https. Therefore, it won’t matter what the db ACL is set to.

I don’t have an ND6 server to look at but in R5, you open the server document and go to the “Ports > Internet Ports > Web” tab.

Under the section called Web (HTTP/HTTPS), make sure the “Authentication: Anonymous” field is set to Yes.

Cheers,

Jack
