TWIKI

Creating TWiki Web

If you have privliges go to: https://www.scs.fsu.edu/twiki/bin/view/TWiki/AdminTools

Under "Managing" click on "Webs"

• Type name of Web in textbox
• Fill in the following fields as desired
• Click "Create new web"

Under Groups create a group with the same name as the newly created web plus the word "Group" concatinated on the end

Under Web Prefrences

Restricting TWiki Registration by domain

Edit the .htaccess file located in twiki/bin/

Add the following at the bottom:

 
      <Files "register">
         order deny,allow          
         deny from all             
         allow from < Domain or ip address here > ex. .fsu.edu    
      </Files>

Comment out the following:

     #<Files "*">
     #      allow from all
     #</Files>

In the same file add the following entry near the top (I placed it underneath the ErrorDocument 401 entry)
ErrorDocument 403 https://Domain Path/twiki/bin/oops/Main/TWikiRegistration?template=oopsdomainrestrict

Create a file called oopsdomainrestrict.tmpl in the templates directory locate in twiki/templates/

Paste & save the following content in the file oopsdomainrestrict.tmpl:

%TMPL:INCLUDE{"twiki"}%
%TMPL:DEF{"titleaction"}%(oops) %TMPL:END%
%TMPL:DEF{"webaction"}% *Attention* %TMPL:END%
%TMPL:DEF{"heading"}%Restricted Registration%TMPL:END%
%TMPL:DEF{"message"}%
Registration can only be completed within the Yada Yada Domain.

%TMPL:END%
%TMPL:DEF{"topicaction"}% %TMPL:END%
%TMPL:P{"oops"}%

I also added another at the top of the registration page stating that you can only register within the FSU domain.

This was the best solution I could com up with. If there is a proper was of doing this please send me an email letting me know how.
