"Authorization Required

...message. Im using the following apex code on my page:
<apex:page standardController="Contact" sidebar="false" showHeader="false">
<h1>Mattias visual force concept page2</h1>
<apex:form id="theForm">
First name = <apex:outputField value="{!contact.FirstName}"/>
</apex:form>
</apex:page>
And access the page with the following URL:
So far so good.
But when i try to add the contact id using:
http://flir.force.com/test/?id=0032000000QRu5B
I get the authorization requred message. What am i doing wrong?
That worked. Thanks.
The global sharing rules were set to private. Adding the guest users to a group and sharing everything with that group solved it.

Make sure you have changed the Public Access settings on the site to make Contacts available to the Guest User Login.
Also, make sure you have updated the sharing rules to make all Contact data private, and then expose the contacts you want the public site to have access to via a sharing rule, otherwise anyone could potentially access all your Contacts...
