I recently configured anonymous authentication in OpenSearch. While the documentation has some information about this, there is no guide available that list all requirements, and I had to find information in multiple places and had to look at the code to fully understand what was needed. Not great for a tasks that I assumed would be simple.

More recently, people asked on Slack how to enable anonymous auth, so maybe a blog post is welcome to document the process?

@pajuric it looks like I missed the failed CI. I fixed the reported issues and am happy to receive feedback to help improve this article.

Reopening to give author time to transition content to documentation.

@kolchfa-aws can you have a look at this PR and see if you feel it would make sense to move its content to the documentation website (I spoke with @pajuric on slack and we think it would be more appropriate)? If so, can you tell me how to proceed, if not you can close this PR. Thank you!

@smortex Sure. I think it's best to put it under this topic https://docs.opensearch.org/docs/latest/security/authentication-backends/authc-index/. Maybe as the last page named "Anonymous authentication"? Could you submit a PR in the documentation-website, and I'll have it reviewed?
