Question

Hi. I'd like to force one specific topic to always be called using viewauth instead of view. Is there a simple way to do this ? I tried:

   * Set DENYTOPICVIEW = NullUser

Thinking that adding access control for a dummy user would force the use of viewauth on this topic, but it seems not so.

The reason I want to do this, is that we are using RequireRegistrationPlugin to force users to register before editing etc. and I want the $REMOTE_USER variable to be displayed in the LoginName field when this page is displayed, since this will remove the risk of users putting spaces in their LoginName etc.

Thanks for any advice.

I always used this, that works as you can see on this page:

• Set DENYTOPICVIEW = TWikiGuest

Note that you will only see viewauth in the url if you use apache auth, not if you use templatelogin (but the effect is the same)

I am escaping this example because it breaks the RSS feed (asking for authentication) and so that guests can look at this page.
