Question

In SharePoint 2013 (Preview), does any of the APIs (csom, REST, etc.) work with anonymous access? With mobile access?

I haven't found any reference to this in the documentation. I did a quick test that seems to show that REST works for anonymous and mobile, but this sounds too good to be true... Thanks for any information you can share!

Was it helpful?

Solution

Figured it out eventually. It's a web app settings. Go to the Central Administration -> Manage web applications. Select your web app, click "Authentication Providers" in the ribbon", click the "Default" zone, disable "Require Use Remote Interfaces Permission".

OTHER TIPS

My experiences have been the opposite, it was easy to make the client object model available for anonymous access in 2010, but as far as I can tell it is not possible in 2013. The REST API ("/_api" and "/_vti_bin/client.svc") doesn't work with anonymous access in 2013.

REST api does work with SharePoint 2013 with both 'Limited-access user permission lockdown mode' and 'Require Use Remote Interfaces permission' disabled.
