I have been trying to add a user to the SiteAdmin/AuthUser page and
having a devil of a time trying to get it to work.
My SiteAdmin/AuthUser page source is at http://pastie.org/2138288 so
you can see what I'm trying to do.
I am trying to add the user nikki, which you can see on line 20. I
already have user tamara working (at line 18). Further down the page,
you can see where I add nikki to existing groups (lines 38, 39).
When I go to test the new login, I get "Password required" and "Name/
password not recognized." I am most positive I typed the name and
password correctly.
If you get "Name/password not recognized" you may have mis-typed the
name or
the password -- check CAPS lock, keyboard input language or similar.
I did check all that, triple checked it, reset the password a few
times and triple checked it again, still no love.
The passwords shouldn't contain characters not found in the active
codepage:
if your wiki is in ISO8859-1, the passwords cannot contain the €
EURO symbol
or a Greek letter for example. Spaces in passwords are unsupported,
and quotes
or apostrophes may produce unexpected results - report any problems
to the
PITS.
All standard ASCII lower case letters. User=nikki password=roobait
There is a known issue with PHP 5 on Windows with short passwords, I
believe 4
characters or less - it is a bug outside PmWiki and we cannot fix it
otherwise
than suggest using longer passwords.
Password was 7 characters.
If you have only "Password required" without "Name/password not
recognized",
check if the username or usergroup has the required permissions - a
page can
have individual passwords, different @usergroups etc., and a
WikiGroup too.
It was both name and password required.
The pages I tried it on all have edit permissions set at @writers
@authors @admin. What's interesting is that the action was using was
just login, not edit, attr, or upload. I'm not exactly sure how it
works, but I would have thought any defined user would be able to
perform a login.

I've since dumped AuthUser and have gone with UserAuth2. This worked
first time and every time for me, whereas I've had repeated problems
with AuthUser. It's pretty clear I just do not understand how AuthUser
works.
