"It's not a bug, it's a feature"

I must admit that made me chuckle :)

But seriously, saying it's a feature would be like saying "you can't get to the 
login page because you've blocked unauthenticated users".

Is there a simple way of allowing just this one page (and possibly the forgot 
username page) to be viewed by unauthenticated users, without allowing 
unauthenticated users full access?

On a related note, if using the "block unauthenticated users" feature is not 
recommended, then what is the recommended way of blocking access to documents 
by unauthenticated users?


Kind regards,

Mahomed

When you prevent access to unathenticated users, you really prevent
almost any access, including the reset password page. That is why it's
really not recommended to tick that box.
