Auth Required Plugin

Description

This plugin redirects all anonymous requests (i.e. users not logged in) to /login.

For any practical purpose, this hack only makes sense if you are using the AccountManagerPlugin to get a form based login, and, as such, requires it. If you aren't using AccountManager, you could simply password protect trac's base URI to present a standard auth dialog.

This is essentially a "pretty" solution to a couple annoyances:

  • trac will display an error stating that WIKI_VIEW permission is required when anonymous has no permissions (ugly)
  • certain plugins and navigation contributors still work for anonymous even if he has no permissions:
