John,
You said:
>> I can give you instructions now on how to store the user details in
>> web.config and then use forms authentication. It will accept clear text
userid and password, which may not be an issue in your configuration. I could
probably get a special page that creates a secure hash for the
password running ofr you if it is really necessary. Let me know which you want
instructions for first: Windows Authentication or Forms Authentication with
user credentials in web.config.
My first goal is perfect usability for novice member who use the wiki. Windows
Authentication is clumsy. With that being said:
I think that if I'm only using a handful of admins/moderators, then storing
login information in web.config is fairly simple, right, instead of Windows
Authentication? But at the same time, with only a few people who might be
admins, maybe Windows Authentication is the most efficient and those five
people can just deal with Windows Authentication.
But if I allow more people to create and lock their own pages, I would love to
have forms authentication while still keeping the file-based wiki. I think
storing 1,000 plus members (and growing) in web.config might not be the best
method, correct? I can setup a MSSQL table for the membership system, if
necessary, but my understanding was that to do that, the entire wiki must be
run from a database (if the file-based wiki does in fact still work with a db
membership system, then maybe I should just use that).
I'm also presuming that the db membership system provides roles.
Please advise what you think would be best.
