[pmwiki-users] HTTP Authentication and use of login name

I'm a new user of PmWiki. I installed PmWiki on Windows using ISAPI.
So far so good! I'm using HTTP authentication and I've had success in
getting the authenticated login name from REMOTE_USER -- i.e. PmWiki
fills the Author field with this login name. (I followed advice in
Cookbook:RequireAuthor, section HTTP authentication.)
I have a WikiGroup, for which I have restricted editing to selected
login names (as they appear using REMOTE_USER). My hope is that if the
user's login name is one of those permitted-to-edit login names, then
the user is able to immediately edit (without any intervening login form
from PmWiki). But I am getting the login form (username and password).
It seems like I should be able to do this. Am I missing something easy?
Thanks
Bob Hartl
