Modifying "View Only" Feature to Allow External Users Without OOD Accounts

[adrianmalecki]

Hello,
I am using Open OnDemand to manage interactive applications like MATLAB, and I want to enable external users to access sessions in “view only” mode without having OOD accounts. I’d like them to be able to use just the shareable links for viewing, without the need to log in.

Is it possible to configure the system in such a way that “view only” links are accessible to non-logged-in users, eliminating the need for an account?

I don’t think so. We automatically apply the authentication requirement to these URLs and I think that’s a good thing. I don’t think we’d want to open the URLs to anonymous users.

Okay, I understand, thank you!
