Public access to scm-manager not possible (anymore)

Since version 1.16 of scm-manager, public access to the site is not possible anymore. The corresponding option Allow anonymous access is checked and the configuration file also states ...>true<...

I can not reproduce this issue. Could you describe what happend when you enable the anonymous access?

... never delete this user from users.xml...

        <user>
           <properties/>
            <active>true</active>
            <admin>false</admin>
            <creationDate>1339744480045</creationDate>
            <displayName>SCM Anonymous</displayName>
            <mail>[e-mail]</mail>
            <name>anonymous</name>
            <type>xml</type>
        </user>

...and it works again!
