Guest access on production servers |
|
|
Hi Stefan and everybody
We have the CMS Authoring server and corresponding SQL database “CMS” (on a
different box).
From the production servers in DMZ I have access to the “CMS” database. The
web site works as read only but it asks for the authentication.
Questions:
1. What are the steps to make guest access on production servers?
2. Do we need (or is it better) to have one more database for the production
servers?
3. The SCA settings are different for authoring and production servers.
Where are they kept? Do the SCA settings influence on the content of the SQL
database?

Hi Alex,
re. Q1 What are the steps to make guest access on production servers?
- in the SCA enable guess access (Allow Guests on Site: Yes, & set the guest
login)
- in IIS enable anonymous access (& set the anonymous account)
re. Q2 Do we need (or is it better) to have one more database for the
production

- Depends on your scenario ; two seperate MCMS databases provide more |
flexibilty & reliability but require more development/configuration of SDAPI
scripts.

Just to add: you also need to create a subscriber rights group and add the
guest account configured in the SCA to this subscriber group.
Then assign this subscriber group to all channels, resource galleries and
template galleries which should be available to guests.
Cheers,
Stefan.

Hi Stefan and Angus
Thanks for your reply. I need some more details.
1. When on different CMS servers I set SCA parameters – do they go to the
database or they are kept in some configuration files on each of the servers?
2. If I will use one SQL database by 3 CMS servers – do I need to have the
same guest account like IUSR_SRVCMS01 (configured in the SCA and IIS) for
each of the servers? Or the guest accounts could be different for each of the
boxes?

Hi Alex,
1) that depends on the setting. Some settings are local, some a global.
The guest account setting is global.
2) the same guest account is required. Usually this is handled by using a
domain account. If this is not possible use the workaround listed here:

Cheers,
Stefan.
