Question

All pages ask for login and password, even when they don't have ALLOWWEBVIEW settings. These includes Main Sandbox webs. When I ask for

http://.../view/Main/WebHome

Twiki redirects to

http://.../viewauth/Main/WebHome

i.e., it always redirect from view script to viewauth script. But it is configured like this:

Set DENYWEBVIEW = 
Set ALLOWWEBVIEW = 

It is the same for all webs, including with or without authentication. I'm using "authenticating and restricting selected webs only" strategy.

I'v rechecked everything.

What could it be?

Answer

Do you have these lines in TWiki.TWikiPreferences:

      * Set USERLAYOUTURL = %PUBURL%/%TWIKIWEB%/PatternSkin/empty.css
      * Set USERSTYLEURL = %PUBURL%/%TWIKIWEB%/PatternSkin/empty.css

and the empty.css file attached to TWiki.PatternSkin?

No, I'm using:

      * Set TWIKILAYOUTURL = %PUBURL%/%TWIKIWEB%/PatternSkin/layout.css
      * Set TWIKISTYLEURL = %PUBURL%/%TWIKIWEB%/PatternSkin/style.css

Then I added

      * Set USERLAYOUTURL = %PUBURL%/%TWIKIWEB%/PatternSkin/empty.css
      * Set USERSTYLEURL = %PUBURL%/%TWIKIWEB%/PatternSkin/empty.css

And attached the file, but still doesn't work.

All both file exist and are public.

I'm using KoalaSkin, and it worked fine at the beggining. But now it always redirect the view script to viewauth script

Any other suggestion? Thanks!

This is probably because you have the SiteMap on the WebHome topics listing one or more view restricted webs. Make sure not to list webs with view access restrictions in the site map, e.g. set the SITEMAPLIST to an empty value in those web's WebPreferences.
