Re: [veryquickwiki-users] Simple way to implement username / password for VQWiki?

[Lukas W. <luk...@gm...>]

Thank you Marcello,
That was exactly what I wanted! All I had to do was to add some users to
tomcat-users.xml with this format (in case anyone else wants to know) :
<user username="lukas" password="password" roles="WikiUser"/>

Cheers
/Lukas
