Accessing eXist client by using 'guest' account

[claud108]

Dear all,

It is possible to disable access for the 'guest' account with eXist client?


Thanks,
Claudius

If you just change the password under tools->administer users (C-u) for
the guest account you will achieve something like that.

Changing this password crashed my access by using the admin account.

Any ideas?

My intention is to simply disable the access by using the eXist client when the username is guest, not changing the password for this username.

This is a simple way to forbid access to my server by using the eXist client when the username is guest and, on the other hand, is already used by admin.xql.

Thanks,

Claudius

No, you supply too little information. Start by saying what you are
doing explicitly and we might be able to help you, otherwise not.
Changing the guest account password does not affect the admin account in
any way. It sounds like you are are in a web context depending on the
guest account being default rather than using the java admin client
which I assumed from your previous letter.

Sorry, you need to supply a clearly stated use case since I can't tell
which layer you are in.

You are talking about eXist client and admin.xql in the same sentence
this makes me wonder what client you are actually talking about once again?

Sorry, you are right that i provided too little information.

So, I have an web application which is accessed via the REST interface.

My intention is to limit access to my server for third parties that could use the eXist client with the 'guest' account.
