Question

I want to find a way to use our enterprise login script to authenticate users on Twiki. This is called by https://wwww.foo.bar/login.pl. It sets up some cookies and environment variables once the user logs in correctly.

I have tried the Session Plugin and setting the SESSION_URL to this https address, but it does not appear to do anything.

Help.

Regards, Chris

Answer

See if you can get your login script to set the apache REMOTE_USER environment variable and you'll be off to the races. That's the only thing twiki cares about.

If that doesn't help maybe if you provide more details on the kind of login system you have (e.g. LDAP?) the more knowledgable twiki people will chime in.
