Question

We use TWiki for our Intranet is behind HTTP Basic Auth. When a user authenticates for the first time, I'd like to make them go through the registration process before being presented with the normal WebHome topic.

How can I go about detecting that a user hasn't registered and redirecting them to an alternate page instead of WebHome. I'd be happy to implement something this simple, if just to encourage staff members to register before trotting off into TWiki land.

It is currently configured so that they can't edit data without registering, which is good.

Environment
