Question

I have a web application that i created on sharepoint 2013

I have enabled anonymous access according to this link:

Central Admin -> Manage web application -> Authentication Providers -> Default -> Enable Anonymous users (checked)

Went into the web app under Site Permissions and set Anonymous access to: "Entire Web Site" but still when i click on each list or libraries credential pop up open and anonymous user got 401 UNAUTHORIZED

Answer 1

If you enable anonymous access to your site (or parts of it), you still need to deactivate “Limited-access user permission lockdown mode” Site Collection Feature if you want those users to be able to dive into Lists or Libraries.

1. Enable anonymous access in “Authentication Providers” (Central Administration > Application Management)

2. Grant rights to anonymous users in Site permissions

3. Grant rights to specific library (if applicable)
4. Disable the “Limited-access user permission lockdown mode” Site Collection Feature
