"It's not a bug, it's a feature"
I must admit that made me chuckle :)
But seriously, saying it's a feature would be like saying "you can't get to
the login page because you've blocked unauthenticated users".
Is there a simple way of allowing just this one page (and possibly the forgot username
page) to be viewed by unauthenticated users, without allowing unauthenticated users full
access?
On a related note, if using the "block unauthenticated users" feature is not
recommended, then what is the recommended way of blocking access to documents by
unauthenticated users?
Kind regards,
Mahomed

When you prevent access to unathenticated users, you really prevent
almost any access, including the reset password page. That is why it's
really not recommended to tick that box.

Hi
It seems that the “forgot password” link is unavailable when blocking access to anonymous
users (
http://localhost/xwiki/bin/view/XWiki/ResetPassword). I am using a custom skin
based on flamingo. No link shows up for resetting the password and if I go to the link
directly, it redirects to the login page. If I then login, I correctly get the reset
page.
Is this a bug or have I done something wrong? Thanks.
Kind regards,
Mahomed
