Additional Anonymous Options

Privileged anonymous access

To offer anonymous access to privileged users, you must add this line to the [Http Server] section of the .ini file:

AnonPassword=thepassword

thepassword is a password that must be matched in the text &anonpassword=thepassword that is appended to the end of the URL. If this ini section is set, anonymous access will only be available through a URL looking similar to: http://server_name/webstore/index.wsp?company01=code&anonpassword=thepassword.

Multiple companies

If you want anonymous users to have access to more than one of your Greentree Desktop companies, use differentiators to determine which company to log in anonymously with. The differentiator is the addition of the text ?company01=code to the end of the URL, if code is the code assigned to the company on the Company Maintenance form. For example:

https://server_name/webstore/index.wsp?company01=01 and http://server_name/webstore/index.wsp?company01=02.

If just one company uses Webstore, the default URL can be entered ending with webstore/index.ect.

Multiple cash sale customer accounts

Using the .ini file, you can allow anonymous access into multiple cash sale customers. To access these other anonymous users, we need to differentiate from the default entry point that takes the user into the default anonymous cash sale customer defined in the Anonymous Orders tab on the Webstore Module Control form. You must add these lines to the [Http Server] section of .ini file:

MultiWebCust1=CustCode

MultiWebCust1Name=CustName Customer

MultiWebCust1Password=passwordone

MultiWebCust1WebGroup=Standard Access

Where CustCode and CustName Customer is the customer's code and name, passwordone is a password to use in the URL when entering this customer anonymously, and Standard Access is the exact name of the web security group to use for access privileges. For each different customer, replace the 1 with another consecutive number, making sure there are no breaks in the numbering sequence.

Then you can go into different customers as anonymous web users using the URL:

webstore/index.wsp?company01=CustCode&multipassword=passwordone.
