Guest cannot view documents in an external repository. This was discovered while automating LPS-46810 - External repositories should be accessible to guest users.

Steps to reproduce:

Set the following in the portal-ext.properties file

session.store.password=true
dl.repository.guest.username=Administrator
dl.repository.guest.password=password

1. Deploy the Sharepoint Hook.
2. Navigate to Admin > Control Panel > Portal Settings > Authentication and change the authenticate type to "By Screen Name"
3. Change the user screenname and password to a user on the Sharepoint Repository
4. Log out of Liferay and Log back in using your screenname
5. Add a page and the Documents and Media portlet
6. Click on Add > Repository and add the Sharepoint repository
7. Logout and have the Guest user navigate to the page and click on the Sharepoint respository
8. Assert that the Guest user can view documents in the repository

Expected Result:
External repository contents are displayed to the guest user.

Actual Result:
A console error is generated and the external repository does not display to guest user.
