Alternative to Portals in an On-Premise Environment

Hi,

We have a requirement to expose an interface to users who don't have an account in Appian. While this could be solved using Appian Portals, we are in an on-premise environment, and I've read that Portals are not available in these on-premise environments. Is there any alternative that works similarly to Portals for on-premise environments?

Thanks in advance

I don't think that is possible.

Even servlets require basic auth at the very least.

I think embed interfaces works like that.. But it still requires SSO Configurations

Embedded interfaces require an Appian account. I'm afraid that nothing exists as an alternative for Portals for on prem.

Only other option is to build something custom (regular HTML/CSS/JS) or use an online form builder (i.e. Google forms, MS forms, Jotform etc) and connect it using a Web API.

If I build a custom component, so that users without an Appian account can see it, would it have to be a solution outside of the platform, right?

Thanks
