Question

Hi we’ve been getting an issue in which WCM references are being generated
towards protected content for anonymous/unauthenticated users. In WCM this
basically means that the links have a “/myconnect” (protected) context instead
of a “/connect” (unprotected) context in their URL.

Now WAS has a functionality in which if a user generates a request towards a
protected resource while being unauthenticated WAS places the URL to that
resource in a cookie called WASReqURL, and when the user authenticates it
redirects the user to that URL. In my case our users are getting redirected
to an image resource or a file resource, etc. This changes depending what is
the last requested protected item and what’s in the cache, etc.

Now I’ve checked permissions on the libraries, sites, content items, components,
etc, but that still doesn’t help. And the worst thing is that this issue is
intermittent almost as if it was tied to some sort of performance issue.

Thank you

Lotus WCM really does that when it thinks the anonymous user does not have enough access rights. If you are absolutely sure that your access rights are properly defined, congratulations. You have found something worth opening PMR. Attach the PUMA mustgather to it.
