Authentication Scheme Dialog—Anonymous Template

Before you can assign an Anonymous authentication scheme to a realm, you must configure the scheme in the Authentication Scheme Dialog.

An anonymous authentication scheme allows non-registered users to access specific Web content. When a user accesses a resource that has anonymous authentication, SiteMinder assigns the user a Global User Identification (GUID). SiteMinder places this GUID in a persistent cookie on the user’s browser so that the user can access specific resources without being challenged to authenticate.
