Configuring User Names when Using Anonymous Access Control
Users need access to their macros, user configurations, and other personalized settings whether they are authenticated anonymously through Management and Security Server or not. Reflection ZFE uses user names to store user-specific information; but what happens when users are anonymously authenticated through Management and Security Server’s access control interface?
In a default environment, Reflection ZFE uses the session id of the HTTP session as the value for the user name. While this user name is unique for each browser session, it changes over time and when MSS is configured in anonymous mode, in order to consistently retrieve user settings, all users of that Reflection ZFE session necessarily share the same settings.
However, Reflection ZFE supports a number of ways that, as an administrator, you can configure a unique identifier for each user so their customized settings can be stored and retrieved.
NOTE:These configuration modifications do not alter the security considerations of using Management and Security Server in anonymous mode.
