Question

Hi,

we configured {LoginManager} = TWiki::Client::TemplateLogin. If I want to see a read-protected topic or want to login, the login-topic pops up as wanted.

The problem is that if I want to edit a topic, a login-dialog pops up, as known from TWiki::Client::ApacheLogin. Here, the correct login-data has to be entered once, but only once again.

Why?

Bye, Alex

Answer

If you answer a question - or have a question you asked answered by someone - please remember to edit the page and set the status to answered. The status is in a drop-down list below the edit box.

Because you have configured Apache to ask for login when accessing your TWiki scripts. Apache login is cached in the browser, so it doesn't ask again until you restart the browser.

To disable the Apache login prompt, edit your .htaccess (or httpd.conf, whichever you used) and comment out the require valid-user lines for the TWiki scripts.
