Hi, I'm having trouble with users. I want a wiki that is private, i.e., requires login/password for both viewing and modifying and does not allow arbitrary users to create their own accounts.
By turning off ALLOW_ANON_USER, ALLOW_ANON_EDIT, and ALLOW_BOGO_LOGIN, and turning on ALLOW_USER_PASSWORDS, I've got it to require login on the front page.
But (apart from the admin account), how do create accounts? (There will only be on the order of 2 users, so doing DB authentication would be overkill.) Where do I got to create them? Has anyone gotten this to work?
Thanks,
Matt

I have a private wiki with just me and I do db auth, although that's because db doesn't bother me a bit. What you may want to do is turn everything on, have the two users go and create accounts and make passwords and stuff, then turn that all back off so they have to login. Not sure if that will work or not, but that's something I thought of.

We just use Apache's .htaccess/.htpasswd on the directory. This is a login box before you get to the wiki at all.
