9.11.1. Introduction¶

This authentication is implemented based on the RFC 1635 but it can also be used for SFTP/SCP or HTTP/HTTPS services.

Once authenticated, the anonymous account will have the same permissions as the account with which it's associated. The audit events are recorded under the associated account name and not the anonymous account.

The anonymous account is locked inside the home folder and will have full access to all files and directories located in the home folder, just like a normal application account.
