How to set up KM folder with Anonymous access.

[Former Member]

Experts,

I would like to setup a KM folder with anonymous access where any document on that folder can be viewed by anonymous users by clicking on a link specific to that document. For example: http://server/irj/go/km/docs/documents/TechDocs/file_name.html

Please note that this document will not be rendered through an iView, so setting up an anonymous role will not work in this case.

Can anyone tell if this will be doable and the steps to do it?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Regards,

Abu

Hi Abu,

If you use /irj/go/km/docs, in fact technically this is served by an iView for which you have to set the auth scheme to anonymous. The whole procedure and the restrictions are explained in https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/837898 (How to configure anonymous CM access).

Hope it helps

Hi,

Please check SAP Note 837898.

Search SDN, there you can find a lots of threads and blogs on the same topic. If there any further concerns let me know.

Above note will help to set anonymous access to km folder. You need not required to create iview or set anonymous access those iviews, since you are accessing folder directly.

Detlev & Baby,

Thank you for your response. I read through SAP Note 837898 and applied it. It now allows anonymous access to everything under /irj/go/km/docs. How can I just give access to a specific folder under /irj/go/km/docs?

Hi Abu,

> How can I just give access to a specific folder under /irj/go/km/docs?

You have to differentiate between anonymous access to the iView behind /irj/go/km/docs (PCD auth scheme) and the permissions on KM folders (KM permissions). If you want to restrict the access, on the folders which should not be accessible for anonymous access, remove the group "Everyone" from the permissions (via details / settings / permissions). For details see http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/1b/12c49eb27011d5993800508b6b8b11/frameset.htm

Hope it helps
