e81c5974 1The only way to have a private ikiwiki, with a shared user database
2for static pages and CGI authentication, is to use
3[[plugins/httpauth]]. It would be good for httpauth to be on par with
4[[plugins/passwordauth]], i.e. to allow registering users, resetting
5passwords, and changing passwords; supporting some kind of
214d7377 6`account_creation_password` configuration option would be nice, too.

8I'll probably propose patches implementing this at some point.
9I've not had a single look at the code yet, but it may be nice to factorize
10the relevant passwordauth code, instead of rewriting it completely in httpauth.

e81c5974 14Well, on such a private wiki, one can neither register herself nor
15reset his password: the registration page, as any other page, would be
16forbidden to non-authenticated users. Admin users should then be
17enabled to:
18
19- register a new user
20- reset someone else's password
21
22In both cases, a brand new random password is sent by e-mail to the
23new user.
24
25An authenticated user should nevertheless be able to change his
26own password. -- [[intrigeri]]
