Question

Greetings all, I recently setup TWiki for my organization and it has been requested that all users be registered manually. Therefore, I need to block access to the registration page to only allow admin's to view it and register users.

By default, after a failed authentication attempt with Apache, TWiki loads the registration page. Instead I would like to load a different page, or have a Denied access message be displayed. I could not find options for this in any settings menus or within the configuration utility. And when I add the following to the bottom of the registration page: *Set ALLOWTOPICVIEW = TwikiAdminGroup, all access to the Wiki is blocked.

Any assistance is greatly appreciated!!

Environment

TWiki version: TWikiRelease04x01x02
TWiki plugins: DefaultPlugin, EmptyPlugin, InterwikiPlugin
Server OS: RedHat Enterprise Linux 4
Web server: Apache 2.0.52
Perl version: Perl 5.8.5
Client OS: MS Windows XP SP2
Web Browser: Explorer 6.0
Categories: Registration

failed apache auth redirect is set in the .htaccess file or the apache.conf file - its not under TWiki's control smile
