[Phpwiki-talk] username/password setup for PHPWiki 1.3.7 on UbuntuLinux

[Peter T. <pt...@li...>]

Dear all

I just had the chance to set up a Ubuntu Linux box with a PHPWiki 1.3.7.
It works fine now - but I am still a PHPWiki newbie :)

I managed to setup the "admin" user with password, and now I need to add=20
user names who can edit the pages. I intend to run with
REQUIRE_SIGNIN_BEFORE_EDIT=3Dtrue, and I don't want to mess with an LDAP
authentification. Since the source seems to be the best source of=20
documentation, It seems that the username/password validation type I want=
=20
to focus on is the ALLOW_HTTP_AUTH_LOGIN, so if the user validates by=20
some username and passwd through Apache, then this username is directly=20
used by PHPWiki.

But from=20
http://phpwiki.sourceforge.net/phpwiki/ExternalAuthentication
it seems that this ALLOW_HTTP_AUTH_LOGIN is still "todo".
Can anyone comment here?

Should I rather go for a (.e.g.) MySQL database?

Best regards
