During installing and scheduling connection via DB-links, I've come accross settings permissions for the libraries (DLLs) for the account/group Everyone and account/group ANONYMOUS LOGON. So far, I always thought that with Everyone, every connection/request will have access to the resource. Why do I need to specify anything else (e.g. the Anonymous logon)? Also, what is the difference compared to the guest account if there is any?

I did some research before via search engine, but the Q&A forums I visited, did not bring the relevant explanation - what is what, why do I need this and that and how do they differ. Thanks for the intel.

    I appreciate the feedback in form of "-1", but it would be great if You could add the commentary, how to improve the question/what should I change. Thanks – Tatranskymedved Oct 15 '18 at 15:32

Windows XP and later, by default, do not include anonymous logons in the Everyone group. A logon is anonymous if it did not provide a username; guest logons are not anonymous. In particular, the guest account is a member of the Everyone group, though not the Authenticated Users group.

This answer provides more information about anonymous logons.
