Setting Up Guest Login 

To set up guest login to the platform, execute the following operations:

  1. Using the PP.Util utility specify the user added to Foresight Analytics Platform, whose credentials will be used for guest login. To do this, run the PP.Util utility as an administrator with the key /save_creds <repository id> /gc <user name> in the command line.

  2. In the PP.xml file in the <metabase> section add the authentication="Guest" attribute. Make sure that the identifier of the repository, for which guest login is set up, is written in the id attribute of the <metabase> section.

  3. Restart the BI server.

  4. Start the web application. Enter any URL of the web application page in the browser, except for login.html. The guest login is executed to the specified repository.

NOTE. Credentials of guest user are saved in the list of registry of the user, under whom the PP.Util utility is started. Therefore, if the process will be started under another OS user, guest login will not work. To further work with the guest login, start the web application under the user, under whom the guest login was set up.
