The Anonymous authentication scheme allows SiteMinder to provide access privileges to users who are not yet identified in your network. Assigning an Anonymous authentication scheme to a realm does not provide access control, but it does allow SiteMinder to personalize content for the user.
When a user accesses a resource in a realm that uses the Anonymous scheme, the Policy Server assigns a Global Unique Identifier (GUID). This GUID is stored on the user’s browser and provides a method for identifying the anonymous user.
When you create an Anonymous authentication scheme, you must specify a guest distinguished name (DN). You can bind policies to this guest DN that provide personalized content.
Note: Personalized content in a realm protected by an Anonymous scheme is based on the guest DN, not the GUID of the user. Anonymous users view content according to policies that include the guest DN. Identified users have a distinct DN, so an identified user who accesses the same resource (protected by an anonymous scheme) views the content of the resource based on their unique DN rather than the guest DN.
Ensure the following prerequisites are met before configuring an Anonymous authentication scheme:
Note: More information on enabling user tracking exists in the Policy Server Administration guide.
