Question

In configure, we have chosen TWiki::Client::TemplateLogin to have people log in via the twiki template, but when someone is not logged in, and they go to log in, the apache-like login pop-up window appears. They then type their TWiki username and password into the pop-up, and it takes them to the login template, where they have to type their username and password in a second time to gain access to editing a page. Is there anything I can do to fix this? I have looked through the support pages and user manuals, but haven't found anything discussing this issue. If this has been discussed in the past, can someone give me a link to instructions on how to solve it?

Thanks!

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.

Look at the following that I copied out of my VirtualHost configuration. You need to comment it out if you use template login and don't want to be asked twice.

# When using Apache type login the following defines the TWiki scripts
# that makes Apache ask the browser to authenticate. It is correct that
# scripts such as view are not authenticated.
# <FilesMatch "(attach|edit|manage|rename|save|upload|mail|logon|rest|.*auth).*">
#     require valid-user
# </FilesMatch>
