Sharepoint Subscription Edition error anonymous access user profile application
- Aug 15, 2022I found the answer. Disable « following content » (suivie de contenu in french) in site features. No need to do it with Sharepoint 2019. Bug?
Doesn't seem like a bug, it looks more like use of the service application vs. intent of the service application. I don't believe the user profile service application was intended for use on anonymous sites, but intranet sites and the like that require authentication. I've never used it on an anonymous site and mixing anonymous access and authenticated access on the same web application has generally lead to pain in my SharePoint experiences. You can usually separate the two completely, or a the very least, use separate zones and URLs for each by extending the web application and setting unique authentication methods for each zone, ie, set anonymous on one zone and require authentication on the other. It's probably best to separate them though to keep the service application out of the mix, unless there is a way to use separate service applications per zone now.
