SID-01912: Allow anonymous editing without login

I would like to allow anonymous/TWikiGuest users to edit select topics without having to authenticate. I have tried setting

Set ALLOWTIPICCHANGE = TWikiGuest and Set DENYTOPICCHANGE =

but it still asks for a logon. The only way I have found to allow this behavior is to set the LoginManager to None in the TWiki Configuration. Obviously this is not desirable for the rest of my site. There must be a way to do this?

Discussion and Answer

You can't require login for some and no login for others. You could do what we have on TWiki.org: Create a TWikiGuest user and publish the login for that user, e.g. password guest in TWiki.org's case.

Well that is a bit disappointing but I suppose we will make do with a guest logon. Thanks for the reply.
