Question

So, my main question, obviously, is how to use kerberos as a means of authentication for TWiki. We already have it implemented on the rest of our network, so it would be ideal.

The first time I installed TWiki, I accidently deleted the data folder. Everything worked except users and groups. My htaccess file made logins occur through kerberos.

I reinstalled it, and now data is there, but with the same .htaccess file, it no longer requires kerberos authentication.

Could someone please help?

Well, if you deleted the data folder, I doubt that anything worked at all. And without seeing your .htaccess file, I can only give some hints:

1. Where is your .htaccess file located? You can not control authentication from your data directory, it needs to be either in the installation root of TWiki or in the bin directory.
2. Do you use mod_auth_kerb? If so, check your .htaccess against http://modauthkerb.sourceforge.net/.
3. .htaccess is only evaluated if AllowOverride from your main server configuration includes AuthConfig.
