I think all the login/authentication issues are fixed now.
Root Cause:
* Somebody changed our server.policy which prevents read access to
certain wiki pages.
* Not sure who added the [ALLOW{edit <username}] which allows edit
only to that particular user.
How do we prevent this:
* If we've a controlled access to the machine we can prevent
server.policy file changes.
* Adding [ALLOW {}] entry to a particular wiki page, we've to be
considerate to other users, after all wiki is meant for sharing.
