Allowing anonymous access is not working

In the 'apache sling authentication service' configuration bundle one can specify pages under authentication requirements. You can allow anonymous access of pages here as the dialog states:

I am trying to share asset links to external entities as stated here (Asset link sharing ):

Here is my 'apache sling authentication service' configuration

As you can see I provided 2 absolute url's (not sure if the .html extension is required or not) but this is not working, is still get redirected to the login page. Am I doing something wrong?

Are you following the DOC exactly as written?

Another option you can do is share them from Prod. I have done that in past as that seems to work better.

I will also log a bug against this doc as it should work as documented.

You stated your goal was "share asset links to external entities"

If you publish them to Production, you can provide URLS to these assets and authen will not be required when an external resource - like a web site - accesses them via an URL.

Do I need to checkbox for this to work? Or what am I doing wrong?

Hi,

Firstly from screenshot the Configuration Binding is not bounded means not getting picked up at all.   Secondly it is configured for white board filter.  Need to fix those first.

Thanks,

Hi Jdruwe

For the configuration to work follow the below steps:

1) Check the Allow Anonymous Access check box

2) In the Authentication requirement provide your content path prefixed by -/+ where -(minus) will remove the authentication for that path and +(plus) will enforce authentication for the specified path. eg: To allow anonymous access for the page at /content/project_name/page in the authentication requirement add the following -/content/project_name/page and to enforce authentication for the same page add +/content/project_name/page
