TWiki User Authentication
|
|
- No login at all: Forget about authentication to make your site completely public - anyone can browse and edit freely, in classic Wiki mode. All visitors are assigned the TWikiGuest default identity, so you can't track individual user activity.
- How: Default, no web server configuration necessary
- No login to view; require login to edit: Keeping track of who changed what and when, while keeping view access unrestricted is desirable in most TWiki deployments. This option is not suitable if you need TWikiAccessControl for view restricted content since TWiki does not know who a user is when looking at content.

- How: Use Basic Authentication (
.htaccess ) to control access by protecting key scripts: attach , edit , installpasswd , manage , preview , rename , save , upload using the .htaccess file . The TWikiInstallationGuide has step-by-step instructions.

- No login to view unless necessary; require login to edit: You prefer not to bother the user with login for unrestricted content, but you need TWikiAccessControl for view restricted content. There are two ways to accomplish this:
- How 1: Use Basic Authentication with Partial Authentication (described below)
- How 2: Use one of the Session TWiki:Plugins where you give the user the option to login and logout.
