1 | The only way to have a private ikiwiki, with a shared user database |
2 | for 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 |
5 | passwords, and changing passwords; supporting some kind of |

6 | `account_creation_password` configuration option would be nice, too. |

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

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