Set authenticate=false in the opensim.ini and create a local launcher application that launches the viewer with the arg –login {randomfirstname} {randomlastname} {dummy password} 
 
If you want to clear the avatar name, that would be really simple for a coder to clear the avatar names in the login process – just send spaces for first and last back in the loginresult. Also make sure the user server always returns empty values for all other users as well.
 
(both these have been done on many occasions when substituting the user/login service with something integrated to, for example, a third party user database)
 
If somebody would code a reasonably encapsulated and configurable patch for something like this, I think many would be thankful.

Let's assume we set up a server and use it - let's call it - a showroom. This server would be accessable through the internet, so anybody could connect to it. Now it would be annoying to create new accounts anytime we want to show the content of our showroom to somebody, so we say: with login "guest" and password "guest" anybody can connect anytime to the server, can walk through the region but can do nothing else. So far, so good - no trouble until here. But it may be possible 2 or more person use this login at the same time. So the idea is to create temporary accounts on demand (guest1, guest2, ...) and delete them afterwards. Is this possible or are there restrictions in the login process, which can not be bypassed.

greetings
Thomas

I guess in theory you could have pre-setup anonymous avatars in the
user database and a sql trigger to reset them on log out.

Hi all,



for some special purposes I want to have an anonymous avatar to log in into
OpenSim (no rights, no inventar, will be deleted after log out). Is this
possible in general and are there any ambitions or somebody who has already
done that?



Best regards,

Daniel
