How can I have Anonymous (public) access to certain parts of site but prevent searching of images

Question

I have a Confluence 6.6.9 server installation and I have turned on Anonymous access in the Global permissions.  I only want to make a few spaces accessible to Anonymous users and that part works fine.

But if an anonymous user puts in a few letters into the search box, they get the titles of images what have those letters in them.   If they click on a search result, they are taken to the login screen, so they can't actually see the image.

But the images are the avatar images of confluence users and this would be a security concern, letting people see the names of people in the company.  Currently all Confluence users who have personal spaces have the Anonymous permission turned off, so I'm not sure what other setting I would need to set to prevent image filenames from showing to anonymous users.

Thanks for your help!

Hi Raja,

Thank you for your help.  I have View User Profiles turned off and have disabled the Profile Picture macro.  Unfortunately, I can still search and find the images file names but as before, the anonymous user can't see the actual image without logging in.  I couldn't find a Confluence Profile add-on.

Warm Regards,

Mike

Hi Mike Buchanan,

Confluence configured to be available for anonymous, disable "View User Profile" privilege in "Global Permissions"

if this doesn't work then make sure you check the following

Confluence system add-on named "Confluence Profile" is enabled by administrator. By default, this add-on is suppose to be disabled.

Hope this helps!

Warm Regards,

Raja
