mashzone embedded without password

I love the feature for embedding mashapp into iframe. It's very powerful, I'm working to integrate it into the company's intranet, but I wonder if it's possible to publish a mashapp as public, so that the login operation is not necessary. That should be useful to publish graphically public data.

Is it possible, or you need always to login with a user?

I'm using the professional edition (2.2).

I saw this article

but I'm not sure to understand the version I need.

thanks

Caro Dario,

You can access mashups without login.

Go to Administration / User management
Click tab Guest access
Click Activate (and provide a password)
Go to Home
Select the mashup you'd like to share in public
Click More.../Share...
Enable the option Publish (allows displaying with login)
Click Share
Click More... / Link to MashApp...
Enable option No login (if not available click first MashZone link... then Direct link)
Click Copy to clipboard
Open your browser, paste the copied URL and open it. If successful, bookmark it.
Done!

Cheers

Rune

thanks Rune,

but I did't see any GUESS ACCESS TAB.

I confirm that my license is professional and MZ release is 2.2

You are right. According to the comparison of MashZone editions I was mistakenly assuming an Enterprise Edition, where the above procedure applies.

However, your Profesional Edition is not offering the feature of Users and Viewers, where latter ones are thoses anonymously accessing mashups.

Cheers

As Rune indicated, MashZone Enterprise Edition is required to access selected MashApps anonymously, i.e. without providing user name and password. In fact, our Gallery works exactly this way.

Putting the technical details aside please keep the legal constraints in mind: MashZone is licensed by named users. In case of MashZone Enterprise Edition in addition, you have the option of licensing named viewers. In contrast to users a viewer can only look at MashApps but cannot modify them. The same applies to data feeds.

To license a publicly accessible MashApp please drop us a message so our sales colleagues may craft an offer for you.

I set a MashApp as Publish and got the direct link with 'no login' option. Nevertheless when I access this guest link, the components of map are not executed. The warning is that the user have not permission in data feed. Someone can help me? Thanks.
