Beta 67 continues to enhance pmwiki's username/password capabilities. I am trying to understand what to do so that a pmwiki site under the control of AuthUser can respond correctly to legitimate requests from an external site. I asked on the users list but didn't get a response, so I'll try again here.
Specifically, I'd like to understand what the PublishPDF library has to do if a site has AuthUser enabled, so that the external PDF server can request content from the wiki and get a response, instead of a prompt for a username and password. When a user requests a PDF, this causes the PDF server to issue an http request for the page content, so we have to authenticate the PDF server as an authorised reader, with the same rights as the person initiating the request. The user is already authenticated, so somehow that authentication information needs to be supplied to the wiki, so it doesn't ask the PDF server to log in. The PDF server doesn't know any user names or passwords. Is there a session token I can pass from the user to the PDF server, that it can pass on as part of a page request and so inherit the user's read access rights? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I'm stuck. -- John Rankin Affinity Limited T 64 4 495 3737 F 64 4 473 7991 021 RANKIN [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.affinity.co.nz _______________________________________________ pmwiki-devel mailing list pmwiki-devel@pmichaud.com http://www.pmichaud.com/mailman/listinfo/pmwiki-devel
