Environment

Micro Focus Vibe 4.0.3

Situation

Vibe allows users to use HTML Markup to reference various items such as users, attachments, creation date, etc. as documented in the Vibe Advanced User Guide. When using the markup for creating links for file attachments {{vibe:file | filename | title}} on entries accessible by Guest users, the links work only for registered Vibe users. Any Guest user who tries to click on these links is prompted to Login to Vibe.

Resolution

A fix for this issue is available in the Vibe 4.0.3 - Patch 1, available via the Micro Focus Patch Finder.
