Caching log in page

Hi,

In august, I moved the foswiki installation at the office from an old Ubuntu machine to a more powerful Windows server.

I made the following changes:

• Now I force users to login even for reading topics: WebPreferences topic > Set ALLOWWEBVIEW = ...
• Now caching is enabled - so I see 'This page was cached on ... Get a fresh version here.' in the footer of every page

What remained the same, was:

• Session Expiry: 32400 = 9 hours, so I want the users to login once a day

I now have the following annoying effect:

• the first wiki topic I access, I have to enter my user name and password (OK)
• I check the 'Remember me on this computer' checkbox and click the Log in page
• now I'm able to access any topic in the web without having to login again... except the first wiki topic I accessed - there, I suppose, the login page is cached instead of the topic page - when I refresh the page (F5), the actual topic is shown.

So my question is, how can I force foswiki to cache the actual first page I access on a certain day instead of the Log in page.

Kind regards

Stijn

I have made some changes, and now an environment that only shows the login page once a day.

The changes I made:

Configuration

Security and Authentication category Sessions tab Use Client Sessions Session Expiry Login tab Authenticated Scripts	32400 added 'view'
Tuning category Cache tab Enable Page-Cache Cache Implementation Cache Root Directory	Foswiki::PageCache::DBI::SQLite $Foswiki::cfg{WorkingDir}/cache
Extensions category !AutoRedirectPlugin	[ { 'context' => 'view', 'target' => 'WebHome', 'topic' => 'WelcomeUser', 'web' => 'Web' } ] enable
Extensions category !HomePagePlugin !SiteDefaultTopic !GotoHomePageOnLogin	!Web.WelcomeUser

WebHome is a normal topic.

WelcomeUser topic only contains:

   * Set CACHEABLE = off
