Allow Anonymous Access to the Service Data

Select the Allow anonymous access to the Service Connection Infrastructure checkbox in the Edit Server dialog if you want to allow anonymous users access to the data from services.

If you allow anonymous access to the service data, you must also allow anonymous users access to the app. You enable anonymous access to the app in the Security tab of the app’s Settings editor. See Allow Anonymous Access.

Note:

If you allow anonymous access to a backend and its service connections by specifying credentials for anonymous access, be aware that those backend systems will be accessible through a public URL without any authentication. If you need anonymous access for a backend or service connection, consider:
  • Creating a backend specifically for the service connections to which you want to allow anonymous access (allowing anonymous access is inherited by a backend’s service connections).
  • Adding only the minimal credentials required to access just those service connections (for example, read-only credentials).
