    'providers': {
      'anonymous': {
        'displayname': 'Guest',
        'textcolor': '#000000',
        'icon': 'img/auth/anonymous_icon.svg',
        'backgroundcolor': '#FFFFFF',
        'caption': 'Have a look !',
        'userid': 'anonymous',
        'username': 'anonymous',
        'policies': { 'acl': { 'permit': [ 'all' ] } }
      }

Set in your configuration file the authmanagers dictionnary as described

authmanagers: {
  'external': {},
  'explicit': {},
  'implicit': {
    'providers': {
      'anonymous': {
        'displayname': 'Guest',
        'textcolor': '#000000',
        'icon': 'img/auth/anonymous_icon.svg',
        'backgroundcolor': '#FFFFFF',
        'caption': 'Have a look !',
        'userid': 'anonymous',
        'username': 'anonymous',
        'policies': { 'acl': { 'permit': [ 'all' ] } }
      }

You get a desktop as anonymous user. The current user is anonymous

List all your pod desktop

kubectl get pods -l type=x11server -n abcdesktop
NAME              READY   STATUS    RESTARTS   AGE
anonymous-3806b   3/3     Running   0          9m22s

In this case the nameof my pod is anonymous-3806b

Run a bash script into

kubectl exec -it anonymous-3806b -n abcdesktop -- bash
Defaulted container "x-graphical" out of: x-graphical, s-sound, f-filer, i-init (init)
anonymous@abcdesktop:~$ id
uid=4096(anonymous) gid=4096(anonymous) groups=4096(anonymous)

You are anonymous with uid=4096 and gid=4096
