Lost anonymous user

web-app

Whilst playing around with the database I accidentally deleted the anonymous user account, the one with a userid of -1. I recreated it in the users table but now when someone visits Gemini who hasn't logged in yet, they are only presented with a login box. I'd like to set it so that it shows all of the projects as view-only to non logged in users, like your live Gemini system does.

I have v2.1.1 and have the following options set in Administration | Security Settings | General:

Allow user registrations: No
Allow anonymous users: Yes
Show All Projects: Yes

Under User Access Schemes, I have the anonymous user set up as Viewer on all 3 projects. I have also tried External Viewer and <No Scheme> but I still can't see the projects on the login page.

Am I missing something? Is it enough to create a user with an id of -1 called anonymous or are there other settings to be made?

Thanks,
Jason.

These are the commands that will restore your anon user:

delete from users where userid=-1

SET IDENTITYINSERT users ON
insert into users (userid,username,firstname,surname,pwd,emailaddress)
 values (-1,N'anon',N'* Anonymous',N'User *',0x2AE66F90B7788AB8950E8F81B829C947,N'anon@anon.com')
SET IDENTITYINSERT users OFF

Superb, that's sorted it and it now works exactly as I'd hoped. Thank you very much.
