Question

After upgrading to Dakar I noticed the "Login or Register" link at the top of TWiki.org's WebLeftBar but my TWiki does not show this. Comparing the TWiki.org WebLeftBar with my new ones, I see the same code:

%INCLUDE{"%IF{"context can_login" then="%TWIKIWEB%.WebLeftBarLogin" else="<nop>"}%" warn="off"}%

I have a proper looking and functioning TWiki.WebLeftBarLogin topic but, my TWiki doesn't ever show it. It does not appear to be a browser issue after testing with Firefox 2.0 and 1.5 and IE 6.

How do I get it working? I assume that the context can_login is not being met but I don't know how to debug it.

With some excellent help in TWikiIRC, this is solved.

Upgrading from Cairo, I had failed to check all of the settings in the TWiki configure page. Under Security-->Authentication I had LoginManager set to none. Changing in to TemplateLogin was the IRC suggestion. At the same time my Security-->Passwords-->PasswordManager was also set to none which I changed to HtPasswdUser. After saving the configuration with these changes the login displays in the WebLeftBarLogin displays just fine!
