hi… I am new to SharePoint and was given the task to administer a SharePoint 2007 site.
The first complaint I have received is that they were able to view the CMS publicly. (e.g. which is http://domainname/contents)
Visitors are landing on the link via a Google search. Although the visitor cannot edit unless they know the credentials. Is there a way that it does not show publicly?
Thanks so much
Hi Fidel
I believe what you are looking for is to hide some of the link like the “View All Site Content” from anonymous users.
I believe that one way is to edit the masterpage and to add/edit Sharepoint:SPSecurityTrimmedControl
See the following article by Clayton James: http://claytonj.wordpress.com/2009/07/28/security-trim-view-all-site-content/
I thought that’s what you wanted? “he first complaint I have received is that they were able to view the CMS publicly”
Thanks again Mark, but my problem is the website, it wont be accessible anymore for the public whenever i disable anonymous login. Hope you bear with me.
When you disable anonymous access it will cause a challenge for credentials (otherwise anonymous people can still get in ;)). If it didn’t how would SharePoint know between an anonymous user and one who should be able to access it?
What you probably want to do is set your browser to integrated login (so that the browser will automatically login with your AD credentials).
Thanks Mark,
Disabling Anonymous access makes the site itself prompts for login whenever the user browse.
Is there a way to disable Anonymous access and the site will run as normal?
