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

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

Hello,
Does anyone know an easy way to make users do a login before enetering the
wiki? Can this be done without an LDAP server etc (which I know nothing
about...) ?

In an earlier project we used an older version of VQWiki and i think we let
Tomcat do the autorization somehow. Usernames and passwords were written in
a Tomcat config file i think. Is this still possible and if so, is there any
documentation explining how to do this? I have been looking in the VQWiki
book but couldn't fint it there or anywhere else for that matter.

Thanx
/Lukas

Hi Lukas, VQWiki 2.8 does not contain any specific feature for user  
logins besides the admin users.
Anyway if you dig into the web.xml content, you can find a commented  
configuration for the typical servlet container security using basic  
auth.
You should uncomment that and then, if you're on Tomcat, pair it with  
a login realm configuration:
	http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/realm-howto.html
I guess this is what you had on the old version, but it's a servlet  
container feature, nothing specific to vqwiki.

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
