Anonymous Authentication

Implements HTTP authentication where no credentials or identity are provided to the server.

Remarks

Anonymous Authentication is used when connecting to external content platforms or HTTP servers that do not require authentication. With this method, Grooper sends requests without any authentication headers or tokens, allowing access to resources that are publicly available or do not enforce user identity.

Overview

This authentication method is appropriate for scenarios where the target server is configured to allow anonymous access, such as public document repositories, test environments, or endpoints where security is not a concern. No user name, password, or other credentials are sent with the request, and the server treats all clients as unauthenticated users.

Usage Notes

• Anonymous Authentication is typically selected as part of a CMIS Binding or Custom Binding configuration when setting up a CMIS Connection in Grooper.
• Use this method only if you are certain that the target server is intended to allow anonymous access. Attempting to connect anonymously to a server that requires authentication will result in access being denied.
• No configuration is required for this authentication method. Simply select it as the authentication type for the connection.

All HTTP requests made by the binding will be sent without authentication information.
