Hello, I'm trying to plug in an external user database and I'm having no luck at all. I first tried getting HTTP authentication working using the instructions at:
http://moinmo.in/HelpOnAuthentication i.e. I added the following lines to my wikiconfig.py file: from MoinMoin.auth.http import HTTPAuth class Config(DefaultConfig): auth = [HTTPAuth(autocreate=True)] ... but it didn't work. It just says, "You are not allowed to visit this page" and makes no attempt to authenticate. In trying to figure out what's going on I made a copy of MoinAuth to experiment with. I put the MoinAuth code verbatim into another file and renamed it MyAuth. The behavior of this renamed class is different from MoinAuth despite the fact that their code is identical. If I click on MyAuth's new-account or password-reminder link I get a plain-text page that says "You are not allowed to access this". (MyAuth will let me log in and out though.) I also tried to create a dummy authenticator that just returned a hard- coded user object. That seemed to work, but when I tried to add "logout_possible = True" to this dummy authenticator I expected to get a logout link next to my user name, but I didn't. So I am at an utter loss. Any suggestions on how to proceed would be much appreciated. (BTW, what I'm actually trying to do is hook up to a user table stored in a MySQL database.) I'm using version 1.8.0.
