Anonymous access to a BDC data source fails in SharePoint Server 2007

SYMPTOMS

Consider the following scenario. You try to access a Web Part or Data View in Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007. You use anonymous access. The Web Part or Data View is set up to display Business Data Catalog (BDC) content. In this scenario, you receive an error message that resembles the following:
You do not have permission to access <Table> in <Database>

CAUSE

This behavior occurs because anonymous access cannot be used to access BDC data in SharePoint Server 2007 Web parts or data views.

STATUS

This behavior is by design.

MORE INFORMATION

The Unified Logging Service (ULS) log files may also contain an error that resembles the following:
w3wp.exe (0x12F0)                        0x0300 SharePoint Portal Server       Business Data                  79fm High     Exception handed to HandleRuntimeException.HandleException Access Denied for User ''. Securable MethodInstancewith Name 'ProductSubcategoryFinderInstance' has ACL that contains:    
Note The section of the log after "User" and between the two single quotation marks (This is the credential passed/noted section) is blank.

APPLIES TO
  • Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007

Community Feedback System

Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back. Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what didn't.

Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry edits), please consult a professional.

Thank you for using kbAlertz.com Feedback System.

We allow anonymous and logged in users to use our intranet. Built a bunch of BDC web parts now see I can't use them because anonymous users are getting an error message. It says it was built that way by design, by design or microsoft rushed out sharepoint with a ton of problems or things that they just never got around to. How many damn workarounds do I have to come up? What a joke.
