Question

Hi, I have got my TWiki to get the Windows login name, as per WindowsInstallModNTLM. Now my Wikiname looks like Main.MYDOMAIN\mylogin. In my Cairo installation, I had got this converted to Main.mylogin using the option B given at LoginNameAndNtlm. But in my TWiki.pm of 4.1.2, I am not sure where (after which line) to add the patch (http://www.twiki.org/p/pub/Support/LoginNameAndNtlm/ntlm-username.patch). As TWiki.pm has been changed between Cairo and 4.1.2, I am not sure if the patch still holds good.

I tried option A too. I made the changes in httpd.conf and tried installing the perl module in CPAN using the command cpan>install Apache::Registry but it gives an error:

*********** WARNING ***********

Your Perl is configured to link against libgdbm, but libgdbm.so was not found. You might need to install Perl from source

*********** WARNING ***********

Enter `q' to stop search Please tell me where I can find your apache src [../apache_x.x/src]

If I point into to the folder where I have the msi file, (on Windows) it wouldn't continue

Entering 'q' gave error at make. I tried force install and somehow reached the end but then Apache wouldn't restart. After that, I got some help from google, downloaded tar.gz etc and installed Apache::Registry. But the Apache service doesn't start.

I prefer the Option B, if available for 4.1.2.

I would like my wikiname to be Main.mylogin, as it was in my old Cairo. Please help

I have found a solution in the lesser known LoginNameAliasesPlugin. All I had to do was to specify MYDOMAIN\ as the prefix to be removed. Great plugin! In case you use it, please note that the file for 4.x is different
