I'd prefer #1 (generic) and would be happy to review and hopefully commit any
contribution...

Hi Simon:
#2 is pretty much what I plan to do. All my users, at this point, start out as
anonymous users. My solution: once a user has been
confirmed as purchasing the product, I will create a minimal account for them
using an email address (I assume that if they are
using the web to purchase products, they at least have a unique email address)
as the userLoginId and some arbitrary password.
Then, I will create (a custom) web page that requires login (using the OFBiz
login services) and on that page I will post all the
digital_goods purchased.
[Since I really don't care if they protect their account, I'm probably not
going to force them to change the password. Not sure
about that yet.]
I don't plan on using the "Order History" web page to distribute purchased
digital_goods.
Regards,
Ruth

Subject: Re: Downloading a digital product as an anonymous purchaser
Hi Simon:
I don't think it can be done. I've spent several hours deciphering how digital
goods work and, although I could be wrong, I don't
think there is a way using the default setup that a user can access a purchased
digital good without a login/password. That would
be because those products are, by default, made available on a password
protected web page and anonymous users, by default have
no login/password.
Actually, the user would need more than a login/password. They need at an
"account" which consists of, at a minimum some PARTY
and PARTYROLE information.
Be interested in hearing if anyone else has had a different experience.
Regards,
Ruth

Hi all,
If I purchase a DIGITAL_GOOD through ecommerce as a logged in user the purchase
is subsequently available for download through
my order history page.
My question is how a digital purchase is made available for download for an
anonymous user. I can make the purchase but don't
seem to be able to find where to download it.
Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Simon
Sound logical to be identified to download...
Perhaps, but currently a digital product is available for purchase to an
anonymous user who is then unable to retrieve their
purchase.
I suppose the options are.
1. Enforce registration for product downloads at purchase time.
2. Code a custom solution that makes the download available to anonymous users
