Strange

Looking at
https://github.com/GeoNode/geoserver-geonode-ext/blob/master/src/main/java/org/geonode/security/AnonymousGeoNodeAuthenticationToken.java

I am asking me two questions

1) Credentials for an anonymous user ?
2) An individual user name for an anonymous user ?

We solve the problem with
GeoServerUser.createAnonymous()


At a minimum I think they should use

org.springframework.security.authentication.AnonymousAuthenticationToken

and we can check with

SecurityContextHolder.getContext().getAuthentication()


Just my 2 cents
