Question

I was wondering how to force a user to auth for a particular topic (such as TWikiRegistration)?

Environment

TWiki version: TWikiRelease04x00x04
TWiki plugins: DefaultPlugin, EmptyPlugin, InterwikiPlugin
Server OS: linux
Web server: apache
Perl version: 5.8
Client OS: mac
Web Browser: firefox
Categories: Authentication

Answer

ALERT! 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.

This was simply solved by setting the 'LoginManager' to use Apache Auth instead of none. Though a search of the Docs web doesn't reveal this tidbit, enabling this option, will force a login before an access denied is shown (or allow access).

So by simply putting access control settings on a page will then prompt for the login.
