Question

Hi,

I have the following setup; * Internet Explorer as browser * Apached 1.3 * TWiki 4.1.1 * MOD_NTLM

When I edit a topic in twiki I automatically login using my windows user. I can see my login name at top left as DOMAIN\USERNAME. When I edit a page in the sandbox the username is presented as Main.DOMAIN\USERNAME.

Now to my problem: I try to use the twiki groups. I have tried to add my windows user to the TWikiAdminGroup but to no affect. I have tried the following formats; * DOMAIN\USERNAME * Main.DOMAIN\USERNAME * USERNAME

The odd thing is that in apache configuration I have set that only my user should be able to use the twiki/bin/configuration and this works.

But is it possible to use twiki groups along with windows users or any users comming from Apache as REMOTE_USER?

If you answer a question - or someone answered one of your questions - please remember to edit the page and set the status to answered. The status selector is below the edit box.

Addition to my previous post; The username that is being validated looks to be in format DOMAIN\USERNAME/Main.DOMAIN\USERNAME. I added the @User in the error text from Access.pm

Were also working in a domain (using mod_sspi, but that does not matter in this case) and we had all users to register to Twiki so they got a TWiki UserName and this UserName could be added to the groups! Users will then be authenticated by their DOMAIN\user and authorized by their TWiki UserName.
