WMS Anonymous User Authentication - general properties

The WMS Anonymous User Authentication plug-in provides anonymous users access to your server. If you have enabled other authentication methods on your server, you can also enable the Anonymous User Authentication plug-in to support users that do not have an assigned user name and password. You can configure the following options for this plug-in.

Item Description
User name Type the user name you want to assign to anonymous users when they are accessing content. The default user name is WMUS_computername, where computername is the name of the server on which Windows Media Services is running. WMUS_computernameis created when you install Windows Media Services.
Password Type the password associated with the anonymous user account. The password is used only within the Windows operating system; anonymous users do not log on by using a password. During Setup, a password is randomly generated for the WMUS_computername user account, where computername is the name of the server on which Windows Media Services is running. If you change the password for the anonymous user account in the operating system, you must update that password here in order to allow anonymous users access to your content. Passwords are case sensitive.
Confirm password Retype the password to verify that you entered it correctly.
