[Galene] Anonymous login?

[Galene] Anonymous login?

Hi,

I'm trying to figure out how to use anonymous group logins with groups that have 'allow-anonymous' set to true.
The docs at galene.org say that logging in without a username should work. Currently I'm first connecting with:
awaitthis.connection.connect(url)

Then in the onconnected event, it does:
this.connection.onconnected = () => {
app.logger.info('[connected] connected to Galène websocket')
app.$s.user.id = this.connection.id
constgroupName = app.router.currentRoute.value.params.groupId
this.connection.join(groupName, username, password)
}

I'm using an empty string for both username and password. However, in the onJoined event, it says: "not authorised" for the group.
Any idea what I'm missing here? I also tested with the Galene client, which returns the same response (not authorized).

kind regards,

Jeroen

The allow-anonymous flag only removes the check that usernames are not
empty; it does not otherwise change the authentication.  In practice, it
only has an effect when you have a wildcard entry in your group
configuration:

    {
        'allow-anonymous': true,
        presenter: [{}]
    }

Now that it's possible to kick out an anonymous user (due to the context
menu on the users' list), I'm thinking of making it the default (and
deprecating the flag).
