Question

I need all registered users of my twiki to be automatically recognized with their allow/Deny status when they access pages with their valid certificate.

So, I want to replace the basic authentication in apache (htaccess/htpasswd) with one using ssl (which has been already installed).

Is there any changes to do in twiki or it's only related to apache configuration?

Answer

If you answer a question - or someone answered one of your questions - please remember to edit the page and set the status to answered. The status selector is below the edit box.

SSL is just encrypting content, you still can use basic auth if you want. Install twiki/bin in an ssl enabled directory. If you want that users are always authenticated, configure Apache to require a valid user for that directory (instead of selected edit, save, etc files in that directory.)
