TWiki User AuthenticationTWiki site access control and user activity trackingOverviewTWiki does not authenticate users internally, it depends on theREMOTE_USER environment variable. This variable is set when you enable Basic Authentication (.htaccess) or SSL "secure server" authentication (https protocol).
TWiki uses visitor identification to keep track of who made changes to topics at what time and to manage a wide range of personal site settings. This gives a complete audit trail of changes and activity.
Authentication OptionsNo special installation steps need to be performed if the server is already authenticated. If not, you have three standard options for controlling user access:
| ||||||||
Changed: | ||||||||
< < |
| |||||||
> > |
| |||||||
Partial AuthenticationTracking by IP address is an experimental feature, enabled inlib/TWiki.cfg . It lets you combine open access to some functions, with authentication on others, with full user activity tracking:
TWiki Username vs. Login UsernameThis section applies only if your TWiki is installed on a server that is both authenticated and on an intranet. TWiki internally manages two usernames: Login username and TWiki username.
NOTE: To correctly enter a WikiName - your own or someone else's - be sure to include the Main web name in front of the Wiki username, followed by a period, and no spaces. Ex: Changing PasswordsChange and reset passwords using forms on regular pages. Use TWikiAccessControl to restrict use as required.
No permission to view TWiki.ChangePassword
