Best way to handle disabling of the security of VBCS application

Summary:

We are developing a VBCS application that needs to be accessible over the internet without authentication, specifically for a supplier request form. To achieve this, we disabled the security option in the application settings, allowing the page to be accessed without user authentication. However application is working without login , but service connections (including Fusion Standard and OIC REST endpoint connections) failing due to existing authentication requirements.

As a workaround, we enabled the "allow anonymous" option in the connection settings and implemented basic authentication. This solution seems to work as the application now loads without any login prompts or connection errors.
