Question

Via configure, I've changed the LoginManager to be TWiki::Client::TemplateLogin from TWiki::Client::ApacheLogin, leaving all other settings alone (including AuthScripts). But now when I attempt to edit a topic, I'm being prompted for username/password twice -- once from the web server (it seems) and a second time by the TWiki login template form. Shouldn't the first instance have been disabled? How can I disable that initial authentication request?

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.

Check your Apache configuration file. Maybe it requires authentication for edit? The original concept of ApacheLogin is that whenever TWiki's access control says that an authentication is required, it redirects to a script with auth appended: edit gets editauth, and Apache should require ValidUser only for these scripts ending in auth. However, often admins take a shortcut and directly authenticate edit etc.
