        None

      Description:
      Ordinarily, when Notes data is accessed in SQL, as through a DB2 access view (DAV) user-level security checks are done on the user, through Notes user name - DB2 user name mapping. If you don't want to use user name mapping, you can control access to DAVs by using DB2's GRANT mechanism, by adding this setting to the NOTES.INI file on the DB2 Access server. When this NOTES.INI setting is enabled, anonymous access to Notes is used whenever a DB2 user name is not mapped to a Notes user name.

      Valid Values are:

      0 - Disables anonymous access
      1 - Enables anonymous access through DB2 GRANT mechanism

      Note: Although enabling anonymous access removes the name mapping requirement, Domino still controls access to the DAV. In order to use anonymous access, the Domino server must allow anonymous access and the default access level of the NSF associated with the DAV must provide sufficient rights to perform the requested SQL operation. For example, read permission for SELECTS, author permission for INSERTs, and so forth.
