Error when execute an external-facing portal

[Former Member]

Hello world,

I would like to make an external-facing portal for anonymous users who want to access to my iviews created by Visual Composer (I don't know if it's possible)). I have read some documentation about it. I began create a Light Portal Desktop and a Light Framework Page, I gave permission to user called Guest to my Role,.... When I execute this link http://localhost:50000/portal/anonymous, I have this error in Log Viewer :

com.sapportals.portal.prt.component.PortalComponentException: Error in service call of Resource

Component : pcd:portal_content/com.bycn.fdContentBYCN/com.bycn.fdPortalDisplay/com.bycn.fdPortalDesktop/lightDesktop/frameworkPages/lightframeworkpage/com.sap.portal.lightinnerpage/com.sap.portal.lightDetailedNavigationTree

Component class : com.sap.portal.navigation.LightDetailedNavigationTree

User : Guest

My version of SAP Netweaver is 2004s 7.00 SP11

Have you an idea please ?

Best regards

Hi Francois,

maybe you should check some things on your Portal Desktop and the objects, it is containing:

- Is the Authentification Scheme set to anonymous.

- Are your anonymous users or their groups listed in the permissions as End Users?

Hi marcus,

Finally i use Default Desktop Portal instead of Light Desktop Portal because his limitation, and now I can

see my iView (it a Visual Composer iView) always for anonymous user (here "Guest"). My problem is in my

iView I have some drop down lists filled dynamically with the java web services. In fact, it seems these web

services don't work with anonymous user, only with authenticated user.

From portal System Administration / System configuration, I added to alias of the web

service a permission for 'Guest' user ("Administrator" = "Read", "End User" = "checked") and in System

administration / Permissions / Security Zones / sap.com / Netweaver.Portal / low_safety /

com.sap.portal.systems.webservices / components / webservice_system, I added also permission

for 'Guest' user ("Administrator" = "Read", "End User" = "checked"). My web sefvices don't have authentication polycies and in his property the Logon Method = "NONE".

With these modifications, the web services don't work always. Is it possible anonymous users cannot access to back-end system through iViews ?

Best regards

Maybe your problem ist because of the Framework you are using?

Light Framework is missing some functions. Maybe your iView needs these functions?

I will try to access a backend via iView as anonymous user and report if it works.

I tested 2 Backend applications.

One worked, the other didn't.

Maybe there are restrictions for backend iViews.

But the error message looked completely different from yours.
