Authentication Scheme Dialog—Anonymous Template—Scheme Setup

This is where you specify the distinguished name (DN) of a user. When an anonymous user attempts to access any resources on the network, the DN is what SiteMinder uses to determine the user’s privileges.

DN

Distinguished name for guests that will be used by the Anonymous scheme.

This DN determines the privileges of an anonymous user. When you assign the Anonymous authentication scheme to a realm, then bind policies to the guest DN, an anonymous user has access privileges specified for the guest DN.

Note: You must specify a DN for a user, not a group. The Anonymous scheme will only function if you supply the DN of a user.

Authentication schemes are associated with realms. Realms are located under policy domains. Policy domains allow connections to specific user directories. When you specify a DN in this field, the Policy Server checks for the DN in the user directories specified in the realm’s policy domain. The Policy Server checks the user directories in the search order defined for the policy domain.

To search for the DN you want to assign as the guest DN, click Lookup. The User Lookup Dialog appears. When you select a DN from the search results in the User Lookup Dialog and click OK, that DN appears in the DN field.
