[Phpwiki-talk] 1.3.10 Questions including User Authentication Confusion

[Joel S. <joel@OARcorp.com> <joel.sherrill@OARcorp.com>]

Hi,

I have been setting up a PhiWiki (1.3.10) for RTEMS.  It has been live
less than a week but enough people have tried it out where I now
have a list of things I am unable to resolve.

+ What is the preferred user authentication model?

We already have a few PersonalPages and I thought we had that
type of authentication. If you don't login, you can't edit.  But
there doesn't seem to be a password.

+ How does one deal with a lost password?

+ The email option doesn't work to any mail server within our
domains.  It does work if you stick in a gmail or yahoo address.
It reports that it can't connect to mail.rtems.org.  This is the
same machine as the Wiki is on and serving the mailing list so
we know it works.

+ One European user tried to include an 'é' (e with an accent in
case it is lost in transit in his name. Now he can login as TestUser
but not under that name.  I tried his name with an 'e' and it
asked for a password.  He doesn't show up as having a personal
page in the search.  This is just weird to me.

I know this is growing and evolving and am happy to help work through
issues.  Just ping me and tell me what you want to see.

Thanks.
