In TurbineResources.properties, be sure to set action.sessionvalidator to
sessionvalidator.TemplateSecureSessionValidator
Of course, I tried doing all this, too, and when I login with either good OR
bad credentials, I just get a blank screen - the URL shows
/template/index.vm, but no template was executed at all.
Anybody else have any ideas what Eric and I are doing wrong?
