Guest user is not configured

Lori Dingman

I am using a Community Services comment and am setting the anonymous user or guest this way

 

<input type="hidden" name="<%=CommunityComponentConstants.PROP_SOCIAL_ANONYMOUS_USER_NAME%>" id="<%=CommunityComponentConstants.PROP_SOCIAL_ANONYMOUS_USER_NAME%>_${feedbackUID}" value="<%=user%>"/>

It was working fine for awhile, but now it is through a java.lang.exception of Guest user is not configured.  Could this error point to something within Collab that needs to be re-configured.  Can anyone point me to any documentation on setting up Guest user or Anonymouse User in Collab?  Also I cannot find the API for com.vignette.ext.templating.community.util.CommunityComponentConstants on the Knowledge Base. Any links for that would be appreciated.

Many thanks.

CommunityComponentConstants.PROP_SOCIAL_ANONYMOUS_USER_NAME resolves to the “anonymous.user.name” property.  Typically this is set to “guest” (as is probably the case in your environment).

 

This is an example of properties that should be set:

 

repository.ids=vca1

repository.vca1.name=vca1

repository.vca1.description=Vignette Community Applications Components

repository.vca1.user=admin

repository.vca1.manager=admin@localhost

repository.vca1.sharedSecret=changeme

repository.vca1.protocol=http

repository.vca1.hostName=myhostname

repository.vca1.port=8123

repository.vca1.community.name=socialmedia

repository.vca1.community.url.prefix=http://myhostname:8080/portal/site/

repository.vca1.community.app.resolver=/vca

anonymous.user.name=guest

isModerationEnabled=true

moderation.process=ModerationProcess

moderation.policy=predefinedPolicyModeration

moderation.owner=vgnadmin

 

 

Is there an error message on the Collab side (in CollabConsole.txt)?   The anonymous user always exists on the Collab server.  It cannot be deleted, but anonymous access can be disabled via the Admin Console in Collab (http[s]://<collab host>[:<collab port>/gm/Present?object=1.25.3&type=Operations&format=AdminAnonymousAccess.shtml)
