Enabling Anonymous Use

Cadenza can be operated in such a way that content can also be accessed without authentication. This should usually be possible if individual Cadenza content is embedded in public portals or websites or if Cadenza itself is operated as a portal.

  • For embedded content: These are displayed directly.

  • When operated as a portal:

    • The start page is displayed directly when Cadenza is called up.

    • If authenticators are also configured, it is possible to log in with access data via the "Login" button on the right in the main bar.

    • The log-in page is only displayed after explicit or automatic log-out and when its URL is called up. It contains a "Continue without logging in" button.

    • The accessmanager-config.xml file must be adapted analogously to the following example:

<userRegistry>
<authenticators guestsAllowed="true">
  <authenticator refid="LDAP">
    <groupMapping refid="LDAP"/>
  </authenticator>
  …
</authenticators>

The following applies:

  • guestsAllowed: Specifies whether anonymous use of Cadenza is possible, i.e. use without logging in (guest user). Which content is released for anonymous users is controlled in the Management Center. Default: false

  • <authenticator>: optional if <authenticators guestsAllowed="true">
