SID-00193: Is it possible to have dual-login in Twiki?

Status:	Answered	TWiki version:		Perl version:
Category:		Server OS:		Last update:	16 years ago

I am investigating on the possibility of whether Twiki can be operated in a dual login environment:

1) Via Active Directory (using kerberos) for users logged-in using the Domain username and password. 2) Via Twiki login: for users from a different domain

Please help me on whether is this possible on Twiki or not? Also if you could refer me to a document that discusses how to enable login using Active Directory.

Discussion and Answer

Check LdapContrib plugin. There is an option to do dual login. From http://twiki.org/cgi-bin/view/Plugins/LdapContrib#Authentication: There is a further option to fallback to TWiki's normal authentication mechanism by defining a secondary password manager. This allows you to create native TWiki accounts, e.g. a TWikiAdmin account and authenticate him without LDAP. Use the following setting to fallback to a htpasswd based authentication.

Closing this question after more than 30 days of inactivity. Feel free to reopen if needed. Consider engaging one of the TWiki consultants if you need timely help. We invite you to get involved with the community, it is more likely you get community support if you support the open source project!
