Enabling Guest Access
MashZone NextGen accepts requests from both unauthenticated (guests) and authenticated users. Guests, however, can only access mashables, mashup and apps in MashZone NextGen that explicitly allow guest access.
Authentication is required:
*To access the MashZone NextGen Hub, the AppDepot or the MashZone NextGen Mobile apps for mobile phones or mobile tablets. Access to specific mashables, mashups, apps and specific features in MashZone NextGen Hub or the AppDepot is determined by the user’s permissions.
*To use any feature in any MashZone NextGen Add-On that accesses the MashZone NextGen Server, unless that Add-On also supports guest access.
For example, portal users may view MashZone NextGen apps or mashups using the MashZone NextGen Add-On for Portals if those artifacts and the portal supports guest access. If guest access is not enabled, authentication is required to see information on MashZone NextGen apps or mashups.
*To use apps or other web applications outside of MashZone NextGen Hub, the AppDepot or the MashZone NextGen Mobile apps, unless all of the apps, mashables or mashups that are used explicitly permit guest access. Artifacts that permit guest access have no authorization requirements.
Requests are rejected with an authentication error when they do not provide one of:
*A valid MashZone NextGen session cookie. Sessions that have timed out are rejected with an appropriate error. See Sessions and Timeouts for more information.
*Valid credentials. See Valid Credentials for more information.
*Guest access header or parameter information. See Enabling Guest Access for more information.
