Anonymous access to KM document

[Former Member]

Hi everyone, I want to access an image that is stored in a repository in KM through an URL from an HTML document but it keeps telling me that the access is forbidden (Error 403).

I have already applied note 837898 to allow anonymous access to KM, but is only working for the access to iViews, Roles, Worksets, etc, and not to access the KM documents directly from an URL.

Regards.

i.Navigate to ContentAdministration->KM Content->documents->Select your custom folder.

ii.Select the custom file ,which you want to allow Anonymous access->Select Details->Settings->Permissions->Choose Anonymous user ->and save Permissions.

iii.check the access link of the file.http://hostname:portno/irj/go/km/docs/documents/yyyy/duckfly.jpg.try it .hope it'll help you.

Hi, Thanks for your reply. I just did that to the document, the folder, it already had the Everyone group assigned to it, but I did assigned the anonymous user anyway, but it didn't worked.

I'm able to reach the document if logon to the portal with my administrator user and paste the URL in the explorer.

Any clues??

Hi Pablo,

what access link did u use?

I tried the target URL of an image in my KM.

( http://<%hostname%>/irj/go/km/docs/~system/thumbnails/ucc_logo_305x400px.gif )

And it worked without problems.

It was displayed without authentification.

Maybe you should work one more time through the SAP Note?

That's the one that i used also.

Hi thanks for the help.

We just raised an OSS message to SAP and they said a note 1079022 solve the problem.

It consist in Patching SP12 up to Patch 3 or higher, so it's not very good news if you are thinking in putting that Patch also in Production.
