Question

We're using CacheAddOn to good effect. Users need to be authenticated to be able to read our pages. We've noticed that authentication doesn't work with CacheAddOn enabled. Our workaround, at the moment, is to link bin/view to the original 'view' when someone needs to re-authenticate. That isn't a practical or scalable solution, however, so it there a workaround?

I have seen the same problem in a newly installed TWiki 4.2. I am using the twiki_httpd.conf to lock down everything for authentication (must login to view) and as soon as I added the CacheAddOn things got screwy. To be specific: I can view certain pages, but as soon as I tried to view a Category page (one with the SEARCH% directive, it fails and boots me to the login page. The funny thing is the login page fails over and over and over.

Now I have to go in and rip out the CacheAddOn files.
