If you want to make a BSCW object that is publicly accessible accessible from the World-Wide Web, e.g. from your home page, proceed as follows:
•Note the URL of this object (most web browsers can copy the URL of a reference to your local clipboard).
•Change the URL so that the login procedure is bypassed and the object is addressed directly by replacing .../sec/... with .../pub/... in the URL. in the URL.
•Insert the modified URL e.g. into your home page to allow direct access to the publicly accessible BSCW object from there.
The change of the URL is illustrated by the following example. Let the internal address of an object be:
https://Ihr-BSCW-Server/sec/bscw.cgi/d18147/ein.docx
The bold part of this address must be replaced for anonymous access as shown below:
https://Ihr-BSCW-Server/pub/bscw.cgi/d18147/ein.docx
Replacing "sec" with "pub" has the effect of bypassing the login procedure that normally occurs each time the server is accessed. Nevertheless, this does not disable access control: BSCW will give an error message if public access to the requested object is not allowed.
Note: The internal addresses of BSCW objects are https://Ihr-BSCW-Server/sec/bscw.cgi/... in standard installations. However, your administrator may have set the addresses differently. This also applies to the address component pub for the public area. If in doubt, ask your administrator.
