Question

Lack of anonymous login - Whats your solution?

5

Mendix doesn't allow anonymous login. I know it wil be in version 2.5 but that's too late. What's would be your solution to offer visitors to create their own usercodes (based on an emailadres) and send the pass to that emailadress?

Mendix 2.4 doesn't support anonymous sessions, as you've noted. In 2.4 this severely limits your options for performing signup inside an application.

The most obvious answer would be to use webservices - concurrent sessions aren't limited there. If you are using a different application or page for signup you can call back to the Mendix application by invoking a webservice that handles the registration of a new user. If you are operating off of the same hostname you can even use JavaScript to invoke the webservice and handle everything inside that page.
