There is an option in TermWeb that enables the Guest Account.
The guest user cannot user account.
By default, Guest users can not view or edit anything in TermWeb, but can only view terms according to the permission assigned to the user.
There are two options for authenticating the guest user.
...
. Guests need to be provided privileges through Permission Schemes much like Named Users.
Authentication
There are three available options for authenticating Guest users without SSO. These options are available in the Administration view under: User management → Guest Account → Log in method (see highlight in screenshot below for reference).
...
Automatic (Always) - This option is only available in the original Admin client for multitenant servers.
All users are logged into TermWeb automatically logged into the Admin client as Guest users without the need to fill in credentials using the servers base URL (ex: https://demo.termweb.eu).
...
The normal login page will still be available (ex: https://demo.termweb.eu/login)
Automatic (when client is specified in URL)
All users are logged into the specified TermWeb client automatically when using the /client/client_name appendation in the URL (ex: https://demo.termweb.eu/client/client_name) where client_name is the login name of the TermWeb client. The login name of a specified client can be found in the Administration view under: User management → Client info → Login Name (see highlight in screenshot below for reference).
...
Normal
All guest users can access the TermWeb client by providing the User name and Password provided in the Guest account details menu. Multitenant servers also need to be provided with the correct Client name.
...
Disabling automatic login
Automatic login can also be prohibited
...
by a server administrator by editing the following
...
property
...
in the termweb.properties-file:
guest.autologin.disabled=true
...
Normal Login - The guest user needs to login normally by giving a username and password.
...
SSO Authentication
Users can be logged in as Guest users if they are authenticated by a validated Identity Provider. A server administrator can enforce the default login progression for all users by editing the following properties in the termweb.properties-file:
api.autocreate.users=false
api.login.as.guest.when.usermissing=true
The above settings can also be individually set for each type of SSO authentication (OpenID, SAML 2.0, OIDC). Read more about individual configurations here.
Licensing
Guest users are generic concurrent accounts that can access TermWeb. The number of Guest user licenses determines the number of concurrent users that access a TermWeb client or server simultaneously. If the maximum number of simultaneous Guest users has been reached for a client or server, the user will receive an error message to that affect.
