You have a point there, and this argument has been brought up before. With AccountManager-like functionality built into Trac, it would also make sense to ask authentication-related questions as part of trac-admin initenv. As for XML-RPC and the like, that's where the HttpAuth plugin is incredibly useful. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Trac Users" group.
