Question

I need all registered users of my twiki to be automatically recognized with their allow/Deny status when they access pages with their valid certificate.

So, I want to replace the basic authentication in apache (htaccess/htpasswd) with one using ssl (which has been already installed).

Is there any changes to do in twiki or it's only related to apache configuration?

Environment

TWiki version: TWikiRelease04x00x00
TWiki plugins: DefaultPlugin, EmptyPlugin, InterwikiPlugin
Server OS: Redhat linux 3 EL4
Web server: Apache 2.0.52
Perl version: 5.8.1
Client OS: Windows Xp
Web Browser: Mozilla firefox
Categories: Authentication

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.

SSL is just encrypting content, you still can use basic auth if you want. Install twiki/bin in an ssl enabled directory. If you want that users are always authenticated, configure Apache to require a valid user for that directory (instead of selected edit, save, etc files in that directory.)
