### View control in the `http` server
-* We already can more or less do this for example with [[httpauth|/plugins/httpauth/]], *.htaccess* files and a proper *httpauth_pagespec*
-yet at the cost of maintaining two different user/pass logbase (native ikiwiki signin)
-* Clunky if ikiwiki is using an authentication method not natively supported
- in the `http` server (e.g., OpenID).
