IMHO, since your server runs on Windows, I would give a try with sspi: On the client side, NTLM enabled browsers would supply a transparent auth procedure, others would handle it through http basic authentication. On the PmWiki side, the Single-SignOn cookbook recipe fully applies: no need for HtPasswordForm. If this don't work for you, you may then always be able to get back to more robusts solution like AuthUser with/out HtPasswordForm as you wish, with the drawback to have to redefine user accesses and perhaps also to loose the transparent auth feature. By "politically-correct", I was refering to the need to follow some usage and definition patterns that are used to be ruled in organizations. -- Dominique _______________________________________________ pmwiki-users mailing list pmwiki-users@pmichaud.com http://www.pmichaud.com/mailman/listinfo/pmwiki-users
