 Use the following setup to authenticate users for topic viewing in all webs and to restrict access to selected webs. Requires UserAuthentication to be enabled.
 
-   1. Set =require valid-user= on your =view= script in .htaccess or the appropriate Apache .conf file. As of 4.x, this looks like: =FilesMatch "(attach|edit|manage|rename|save|view|upload|mail|logon|.*auth).*"= (normally =view= is not in that list).
+   1 The simple way is to add this to =%WEBPREFSTOPIC%= in all webs.
+      * ==Set <nop>DENYWEBVIEW = WikiGuest==
    1. *Restrict* view access to selected Users and Groups. Set one or both of these settings in its %WEBPREFSTOPIC% topic:
-      * ==Set <nop>DENYWEBVIEW = &lt; list of Users and Groups &gt;==
       * ==Set <nop>ALLOWWEBVIEW = &lt; list of Users and Groups &gt;==
       * __Note:__ =DENYWEBVIEW= is evaluated before =ALLOWWEBVIEW=. Access is denied if the authenticated person is in the =DENYWEBVIEW= list, or not in the =ALLOWWEBVIEW= list. Access is granted if =DENYWEBVIEW= and =ALLOWWEBVIEW= are not defined.
-   1. If you still want public users to be able to register automatically follow TWiki:TWiki.RegisterOnViewRestrictedSite.

+In rare cases it may be required to authenticate the view script. This can in some cases have a dramatic performance hit because the webserver must re-authenticate for every page view.
