    We'd like to use phpwiki on our corporate intranet and we believe the best way is to remove all authentication thus no user passwords to forget etc.. We've made modifications to the public interface to remove features that the avg. users shouldn't need. What we'd like though is use a netbios script to capture their LAN id's and use that to track all edits to pages etc.. Can anyone poing me in the right direction? Thanks

      Yes the windows login name. In our corporate environment since this is a side project IT won't allow us to use the LDAP servers to authenticate I'd like to use a work around by capturing the windows login name somehow and use that to track edits.

      Authentification is optional. So you need no hints.
      see your config.ini
      ALLOW_ANON_EDIT = true
      PASSWORD_LENGTH_MINIMUM = 0
      LAN id's: automatically stored as author is the clients IP.

      In cooporate env's we prefer HttpAuth or SessionAuth.
      This way you have a direct link to the userid and don't have to look up ip's.

      Hmm is there a way I can have it say Edited by blah blah on this date etc .. on the bottom of every page? What I'd like is to identify where exactly in the code is this located so I can play around with it as we have thousands of users and I'd prefer not to have them create accounts. I'd like to keep this running while having as few support issues such as usernames/passwords. All I want to do is capture their names which is available via netbios packets.

      Thanks for your assistance

        Can you explain that a bit, please?
        You want the windows logon name?
        I use mod_ntlm within apache to get to this name, but maybe it's easier. I'll investigate when I'm back from holidays.
