Anonymous Access with Infopath form

Question

I am facing issue while accessing infopath anonymously. Below mentioned are the steps I followed.

       

From infpath I selected Sharepoint List template

-          I created a basic infopath form, no external data connection.

-          Published the form which results in creation of a List in targeted site.

-          Site is anonymous and I also have assigned anonymous permissions to the List itself.

-          I added infopath form webpart on page. In webpart propertise I selected the List from the dropdown. Then I selected “NewForm” view from properties.

-          When I open the form it gives form is closed.

-          If access the site after login with a Visitor account (Readonly permission) it works fine. But not for anonymous.

Below mentioned are the errors w.r.t correlation id from logs.

Unknown SPRequest error occurred. More information

The XSN is null and its not a cross server issue. Most likely a permission issue

Answer 1

Submitting an InfoPath form requires adding a new XML document to a library.  SharePoint prohibits the addition of documents to libraries by anonymous users.  So anonymous users cannot submit Infopath forms to a SharePoint site.  Take a look at the following article:

Answer 2

It is not a form library or document library. It is just a list. This list is created by designing Infopath form "Sharepoint List Template"as I mentioned in my 2 steps.

It is not submission of form but submision of Data to a list. 

Answer 3

Take a look at the article I mentioned.  It covers using Infopath forms for list forms as well.  Based on the way Infopath works its still the same problem even though its a list.
