The only way to have a private ikiwiki, with a shared user database for static pages and CGI authentication, is to use [[plugins/httpauth]]. It would be good for httpauth to be on par with [[plugins/passwordauth]], i.e. to allow registering users, resetting passwords, and changing passwords; supporting some kind of `account_creation_password` configuration option would be nice, too. I'll probably propose patches implementing this at some point. I've not had a single look at the code yet, but it may be nice to factorize the relevant passwordauth code, instead of rewriting it completely in httpauth. -- [[intrigeri]] Well, on such a private wiki, one can neither register herself nor reset his password: the registration page, as any other page, would be forbidden to non-authenticated users. Admin users should then be enabled to: - register a new user - reset someone else's password In both cases, a brand new random password is sent by e-mail to the new user. An authenticated user should nevertheless be able to change his own password. -- [[intrigeri]] [[wishlist]]
