Answer 1

You need to check your webscript definition :

The authentication part must be user. Other choices are admin (probably your case) or none (no authentication).

<webscript>
    <shortname>Hello World</shortname>
    <description>Hello World Sample Web Script that responds back with a greeting</description>
    <url>/tutorial/helloworld</url>
    <format default="html"></format>
    <authentication>user</authentication>
    <family>Alfresco Tutorials</family>
</webscript>
