Hi Hugo,
Hi,
I have just started using XWiki, which I have deployed under Tomcat on my Ubuntu server.
It seems to work ok, and I have been able to edit and add pages.
Now I have set everything to require registration - so I added the XWikiGuest user, and
blocked all stuff - which seem to work great.
Now I would have added one page, and I would like this page to be viewed by unregistered
users (e.g. the general public). So I added the "View" permissions for this page
for unregistered users/XwikiGuest - but somehow it doesn't work - when trying to view
this page while not signed in, I am still 302'ed to the registration/login page!
Any tips on how to solve this?
I guess what you did is set the (black) checkbox to "Prevent unregistered users from
viewing pages, regardless of the page or space rights".
In that case setting up view rights on certain pages to make them viewable for the public
does not work (it is exactly the purpose of that check to avoid this happening by
accident)
If you want to hide most pages to the anonymous user, you need to "uncheck" the
green "view" right checkbox for "Unregistered Users" in the wiki
admin.
This can be overriden on the page level, exactly in the way you did it.
Not sure if I guessed right .... I hope it helps anyway
