Sharepoint 2013 - what is the used masterpage for anonymous users? - sharepoint

WHen I make any modifications in seattle.master, I see that all the authenticated users are able to see the changes. However, when I am an anonymous user, I do not see any changes, it seems like seattle.master is never used for anonymous users. The problem is I could not find which master page is used for anonymous users. I even tried to modify all the master pages in SP Designer 2013 one by one (Yea brute force:)), but nothing changed. Is there anyone that can give me a clue about this?
Thanks.
SharePoint 2013 is used.

I directed to the master page gallery myweb/_layouts/15/start.aspx#/_catalogs/masterpage/Forms/allitems.aspx, then I checked out seattle.master, then immediately checked in. While checking in, I selected v3.0(publish). The problem is solved like that. Thanks #Serv for helping me to get the solution.

Why Sharepoint 2013 keeps asking me to log in?

I have an intranet web page.When I entered to the web page,it ask me to log in. When I put my credentials he lets me in but when inside he asks me again and again and again. If I click another section it will ask me again too.
I have tried adding the web page to trusted sites,credential manager on windows. I think this is not case since I have a qa site and doesn,t happens.
This only happens to this site because I have more sites on the server and they work as expected.
I have multiple sub sites on the page I don't know if this maybe related.
How can I solve this?
Thank you in advance.
Refresh your browser cache/ passwords..
If the page you are trying to access has some code/webpart which tries to access a resource to which you dont have access, then it can give this issue.

Sharepoint 2013 Enterprise, On Premise - Content different for different users with same permissions

Ok, I am in the dangerous place of knowing enough to cause trouble but not enough to do things correctly; and yet still have to be the one who does the work.
When I edit a sharepoint site, I see one thing, users see something else.
I have SP2013 Enterprise, On premise, SQL 2012.
I have configured Excel Services, Analysis Services - and they work
I developed an excel workbook with PowerPivot and deployed to a Sharepoint site via Excel WebPart
Permissions are set correctly as users have to login to open the site
However...
When other users go to the site, they don't see the information I posted, they only see the default screen. By default it looks like a business intelligence site before I added anything.
In short - the content I have put on my SP site is not being seen by anyone else. WTF do I do now???
Thanks
Did you perform a check-in of your page ?
If publication feature is enabled, did you publish the page ?
A page has to be "checked in" for others to see your modifications.
And if publishing is enabled, it should be published.
If the content of your page references other sharepoint content (file,page,...) they should be checked-in also to be visible to others.

Sharepoint 2010 different masterpage for normal user and admin user

How do you make Sharepoint 2010 use a custom master page for a set of users and use another custom master page for another set of users?
Basically I am trying to show a branded cutdown version of Sharepoint to one set of user and present the full admin interface to the admins.
Thanks :)
This will not be possible. There is one Master Page associated with a SPWeb (SPWeb.MasterUrl).
Your only possibility to have different "master pages" for different types of user is to use security trimming. You will have to use WebParts and other security trimmed stuff to show different content for admins/normal users.
there is a solution for this. Usually we create two different master pages to manage this. One master page for administrators containing all staff that is usable for administratos like Ribbon for example.
Other version is only fp anonymous users where HTML generated is clean and no extra SharePoint staff generated for end user. This reduces traffic and time load of page for anonymous users.
This is very useful article how it can be done. We have implemented in the same way and work well.
hope it helps you,

Sharepoint anonymous user search results

We have two zones - Default is Claims based and Custom is NTLM - this one is used for crawling.
My issue is that when I search under anonymous user - the protected content is returned, even though when I try to click the link - it gives me permission error (which is good).
Any ideas?
this may solve your problem.
It defines the problem that, old crawl data is still on. That a new crawl will solve it.
If it does not, may be you should check your data's permissions that no anonymous user has view permission on it.
And, although it is not related to your question about sharepoint 2010, this can help MOSS 2007 users if needed.

2 accounts reference 2 different master pages?

This is puzzling me for awhile.
I am developing a SharePoint MOSS 2007 site.
I have one set of accounts, who have no issues accessing the site and using correct master page.
When I use the second set of Windows user accounts, they use completely different master page for unknown to me reason.
There is no logical separation between those groups, meaning that 1 account from 1 department may behave correctly, and another account form the same department, who should have the same privileges, references a different master page.
When I try to programmatically see what the master page is, it displays the same standard default path as for other users, "_catalogs/masterpage/default.master".
The strange thing is that it seems that this different master page is really the same, but the older version of it.
Did anyone experienced the same issue?
How do I fix this?
How do I find out what the second master page really is?
Thanks in advance.
Have you checked in and also approved the master pager after editing it, so that the new version is available for everyone?
