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
20 - reset someone else's password
22 In both cases, a brand new random password is sent by e-mail to the
25 An authenticated user should nevertheless be able to change his
26 own password. -- [[intrigeri]]
