The problem is that there is nothing special about this group in an
empty wiki, it's indicated nowhere that its members have admin right
so you don't see the Distribution Wizard (which requires admin right).

The only ways to have the Distribution Wizard are:
* there is no user in the DB yet (only for main wiki)
* the current user have admin right

[xwiki-users] Wiki setup as authenticated user

[Tim Dudgeon]

I'm trying to set up a XWiki site using container (tomcat) 
authentication. The authentication pat is working fine, but I'm having 
any issue when initialising the site for the first time.
Normally (without authentication) xwiki spots that the wiki doesn't 
exist, and creates it (presumably using some magical user it creates).
But when I have authentication the initial wiki creation step does not 
happen and you go straight to a "page can't be found" message, even if 
the authenticated use is part of the XWikiAdminGroup.


Is there any solution to this, or must the wiki be created before any 
authentication is put in place?


Thanks
Tim
