Yes, it works when BlogIt is disabled. You can test it yourself at:
http://beta.webminster.org/Test/NoBlogIt
I don't load the BlogIt recipe for the Test.NoBlogIt page. I changed the
permissions so that you can also view the attributes pages now. Compare
it with:
http://beta.webminster.org/Test/GroupPW
Both Pages have the same attributes settings. Feel free to play around
and change settings.

I set user groups and not passwords on the attributes pages. This could
be the problem. Try these steps:
0) Activate the identity-based authorization system by adding
include_once("$FarmD/scripts/authuser.php"); to config.php if you not
already have it
1) Create a new user at the SiteAdmin/AuthUser page:
=> Add " Guest: (:encrypt test:)" to that page
=> This creates the user "Guest" with password "test"
2) Assign the user "Guest" to the user group "guest":
=> Add " Guest: @guest" to the SiteAdmin/AuthUser page
=> Now "Guest" is member of the user group "guest"
3) Allow users of the user group "guest" to edit all pages of the page
group Test
=> Set "@guest" as edit password at Test.GroupAttributes?action=attr
4) Login to Test.AuthUserGrp with username "Guest" and password "test"
I hope you can reproduce it now.
