How to analyze anonymous logon process and pcd access ?

Hello experts,

These days I try to check the mechanism for an anonymous access of our SAP EP 7.31.

I configured a anonyous access according to https://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70ehp1/helpdata/en/cd/1aad4abcb98c4597f9e395a6b62f43/content.htm

This works, e.g. if I navigate to URL iViews.

Then I tried to run anonymous Login with WPC Content (e.g. a start page, central help page, ....).

For this I found http://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/837898.

The startup page is developed by WPC .... just a simple bitmap and a title . The portal runs with an AJAX theme. The role, the KM iView template, the desktop and the framework is set to authentication scheme=anonymous. Same to (hopefully) all relevant PCD elements ....

Now I can enter the SAP portal by using <server>:<port>/irj/portal/anonymous.

The framework and the menu appears .... but in the center, the logon dialog appears, too.

I searched a lot of SCN discussions, read a lot of SAP notes ... nothing helped.

Now I am looking for a trace or protocol to analyze the logon and authentification process and the page Rendering process.

Is there a protocol, which shows the reason, why the portal runs not the authentication scheme anonymous.

Any ideas ?

Thank you very much for your interest.

Regards,

Markus

Hi Saar,

thank you for helping me ... great blog.

So I recognized, on your step 3 that the authentification scheme on WPC pages must be set on each regional page ... and I did this for just the first language specific one but my browser run with a different language .

After setting all regional pages to anonymous, it worked properly.

Thanks again ...

By the way: is there a protocol to analyze such problems ?

Hi Saar,

its me again. Is it possible to set the WPC pages automatically to anonymous scheme while creation ? Do you know the right WPC template for this ?

Hi Markus,

I am happy that the blog was useful for you, i'd appreciate if you can rate it so it reach a higher spot in the searches.

Regarding WPC templates under portal content --> templates --> WPC Templates --> pages

you will find the WPC page templates, rt stands for run time and dt stands for design time.

I would be careful changing auth values on those pages, make sure that after you do that the pages are not accessible to unauthorized people.
