Do the following:

1. Select Virtual proxies on the QMC start page or from the StartS drop-down menu to display the overview.

   Tip noteYou can apply a filter to a column by clicking ..

2. Select the virtual proxy that handles the authentication and click Edit.

3. Edit Anonymous access mode in the Authentication property group:

   • Select Allow anonymous user in the drop-down list if you would like a user to enter as anonymous and then be able to switch to a user account.
   • Select Always anonymous user if all users always should be anonymous.

   The default value is No anonymous user and the Qlik Sense users must supply the user identity and credentials.

   Tip note You can display or hide property groups using the panel to the far right.
   You must click Apply to save your changes. Apply is disabled if a mandatory field is empty.

4. Click Apply in the action bar to apply and save your changes.
