__Security__: [As with passwordauth](/security/#index14h2), be wary of sending usernames and passwords in cleartext. Unlike passwordauth, sniffing `unixauth` credentials can get an attacker much further than mere wiki access. Therefore, this plugin defaults to not even _displaying_ the login form fields unless we're running under SSL. Nobody should be able to do anything remotely dumb until the admin has done at least a little thinking. After that, dumb things are always possible. ;-)
-`unixauth` tests for the presence of the `HTTPS` environment variable. `Wrapper.pm` needs to be tweaked to pass it through; without that, the plugin fails closed.
+`unixauth` needs the `HTTPS` environment variable, available in ikiwiki 2.67 or later (fixed in #[502047](http://bugs.debian.org/502047)), without which it fails closed.

+The plugin has not been tested with newer versions of ikiwiki. [[schmonz]] hopes to have time to polish this plugin soon.
