Wow...how strange.

Did you get a login even if you set the "Allow Public Access users to view and run this agent." option in Agent properties -> Security tab? I would expect such an add-on to allow access public design elements without a login...or at the very least allow you to configure a "public website"...some db that anyone can open.

I was looking at it from more of an internal, behind-the-firewall type configuration, where HTTP isn't normally used. Otherwise, if it's a web environment you don't have this problem, since you're logged in already. I wouldn't expect such an add-on in a Notes client environment, but yes...you never know what you're going to run into.

When I put a database on the internet I nearly always set Anonymous to No Access, but with read & write (if needed) access to public documents. Then I can set the "Allow Public Access..." option on agents so they can be executed without getting a login. I find using public access easier for giving access where necessary while protecting the rest of the db. This works well for internal processes, like the type I described.
