Support Web>LoggingIn (22 Nov 2001, PeterThoeny)Question:
How can I log in, so that the main page shows my name, rather than Guest, and any changes I make are automatically assigned to me? -- DavidHay - 19 Nov 2001Answer:
(moved from the TWiki web) You need to enable basic authentication in order to edit pages under your name instead of TWikiGuest. If you want to be authenticated also when viewing a topic you could either enable basic authentication also for view (e.g. add a<Files "view"> section to .htaccess the same way as <Files "edit">) or you can enable the $doRememberRemoteUser flag in TWiki.cfg. More in the TWiki.WebHome docs.

Any ideas how I do this with IIS running on NT? There is no .htaccess to modify, and changing the doRememberRemoteUser flag didn't work. Many thanks... -- DavidHay - 21 Nov 2001 Check Codev.TWikiOnWindows and related topics. -- PeterThoeny - 22 Nov 2001Topic revision: r4 - 22 Nov 2001 - 08:19:40 - PeterThoeny
