Thanks for the reply, Thomas. As my grandfather would say; "well, crap." :-)
That forces me to re-think how clients and internal users login. As a stop-gap, I've set it to the default authenticator (from MoinMoin.auth import MoinAuth). Which brings me to my next question: Is there an easy way so that only I (or some other trusted admins) can create user accounts? I don't want any account self-created, I want the handful to be created only by those with admin rights. I understand how to set and configure the acl_rights_default so that non-trusted users cannot view pages, but also don't want people even trying to create accounts. Many versions ago, this was easily done by setting the ACL on the UserPreferences page. But that's not used anymore, obviously. Maybe restrict access to the newaccount action? Or similar technique? (sorry, it's been a while since I've configured a wiki in this way). -Rick On Sat, Sep 5, 2009 at 6:22 AM, Thomas Waldmann<tw-pub...@gmx.de> wrote: > Hi Rick, > >> I'm trying to get a wiki configured that will allow multiple >> authentication methods.
