I've done something like this such a way:
- make new cgi script (link to suid_wrapper) for anonymous access - f.e. rtview.cgi
- add a few lines to test if $program is equal to rtview.cgi into bin/rtmux.pl
- in that body copy the body of condition for webrt.cgi with this a line
  above:
  require "/opt/rt/etc/config_anonymous.pm";
- copy your etc/config.pm to config_anonymous.pm and edit it as below:
  $web_auth_mechanism = "external";
  $ENV{REMOTE_USER} = 'operator';#--name of your anonymous account;

Thats all.

Cheers
