Question

I'm getting the following message when TWiki cannot authenticate a user at the time of login. I'm using LDAP login and my LDAP server is Microsoft Active Directory.

“ TWiki detected an internal error - please check your TWiki logs and webserver logs for more information. Undefined subroutine &TWiki::Contrib::EditContrib::Include41::isTrue called”

In TWiki 4.05, the error handler displayed a screen saying "Access Denied". It is not showing in TWiki 4.1. Is this a known issue? If yes, how can I resolve it?

Environment

TWiki version: TWikiRelease04x01x01
TWiki plugins: DefaultPlugin, EmptyPlugin, InterwikiPlugin
Server OS: Redhat Fedora 5
Web server: Apache
Perl version: 5.8
Client OS: Windows XP
Web Browser: Firefox, IE
Categories: Authentication, Security, Authorisation

ALERT! 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.

It looks very much like the code in the EditContrib is broken. I don't think that's anything to do with the TWiki error handling.

Thanks Crawford. I was getting this message because I restricted access to the TWiki server to a group. This included the TWiki web as well. When I opened the TWiki web to unauthenticated users, the error disappeared. I reckon TWiki tries to open the Access denied template when the user cannot be authenticated. But when TWiki cannot even open the Access denied template, this error is shown.
