My thoughts are if the anonymous tickbox is first focus it should be above the username/password fields and the username/password fields should be disabled if anonymous is selected.  But that may look a little weird with the text to the left and the title below it.

Or does entering a username/password automatically de-select the anonymous?  In which case this is fine so long as the username field has the cursor focus and pressing enter immediately activates the ok button.  

Or perhaps pre-populate username with 'anonymous' and have the word pre-selected so it can be overtyped and do away with the tickbox entirely?

Basically what I'm looking for is the easiest shortest most obvious path for the main use cases.
