Listing Objects Available for Anonymous Access
You can generate list of objects that are available through the anonymous access functionality. This can help you determine if any objects have been exposed by mistake and can assist you in providing the HTTP URL for each object. Generating the list of objects available through anonymous access is restricted to users with administrator access.
To generate a list of objects being shared anonymously:
2. cd bin
3. ant -f anonymousAccess.xml listAvailableResources
4. Enter your administrator credentials.
Sample Output for Available Items
The output contains an entry for each document accessible via anonymous access and each entry lists the organization, container (product or library), and folder containing the document as well as the document name and a skeleton of a URL which can be used to access the document anonymously.

Note that the example URLs do not contain actual hostname and web-app values because these values are unavailable through the command line interface. The URLs displayed are quite long and break across lines in the command prompt. Viewing the log file referred to at the beginning of the listing is an easier way of viewing the output.
This list includes all document objects being shared throughout your Windchill installation, including all products and libraries in all organizations.
Sample Output for no Available Items
There are three cases where no objects are exposed:
1. The Customizations Folder preference has been set to an empty value and locked at the site level.
2. No folders are exposed anonymously.
3. At least one folder is exposed anonymously, but it contains no WTDocument objects.
If no documents are currently being shared using the anonymous access functionality, the following output is generated:
