Question

I upgraded from TWiki 4.0 to 4.1.2 and I am having trouble getting the login name mapped to the WikiName.

we have our wiki in a protected area and users are logging in via apache/mod_perl with an email address as username

the new wiki sees me as TWikiGuest

what has changed? any tips on getting this to work. I have read over all docs and previous questions and I can not figure this out.

I found the answer to my problem. {LoginNameFilterIn} regex was not matching our email addresses and so it was falling back to guest.
