Question

I have been asked to make our Twiki setup available to the internet using SSL and requiring auth to view, but to be viewable as Guest from within our Intranet (and then to allow editing if the user logs in). Is this possible? I currently have the Twiki site viewable from the internet using SSL, and you have to log in with basic auth to connect to it at all, and then you have to log in again with your wiki name in order to edit/create new topics. However, if you come at it from the inTRAnet, you never have to log in at all to edit/create (and TWiki always identifies you as guest).

Is this sort of setup possible?

Answer

Though I did not try it myself, what about having 2 TWiki instances listening on 2 different ports 443 for the internet access and another port protected by a firewall unreachable from the internet for the intranet users. Both TWIki instances could share the same data directory but would have different settings.
