Package =TWiki::LoginManager::ApacheLoginThis is login manager that you can specify in the security setup section of configure. It instructs TWiki to cooperate with your web server (typically Apache) to require authentication information (username & password) from users. It requires that you configure your web server to demand authentication for scripts named "login" and anything ending in "auth". The latter should be symlinks to existing scripts; e.g.,viewauth -> view , editauth -> edit , and so on.
See also TWikiUserAuthentication.
