Any suggestions for captcha for registration? I am using trac-0.12.2_1 from FreeBSD ports.
I downloaded the zip from http://trac-hacks.org/wiki/CaptchaAuthPlugin and after unzipping I ran "python ./setup.py build" (I had to make some files readable first with chmod u+r). I installed with "python ./setup.py install" as root. The documentation didn't say how to enable it nor install it. So I guessed. I configured my trac.ini components section with: captchaauth.* = enabled I restarted my webserver. LOading trac said I needed to upgrade trac, so I did. A minute later ... The register page added the captcha form. It is hard to read for me. I attempted to do a registration test, but failed saying I needed to include an email address even though it said it was optional. But the new page asked for the captcha but didn't show the image. So I reopened the register page. I tried again ( I had to retype each field) and failed again saying email address was already used (it was). Then tried again and failed because I couldn't read the captcha so entered the wrong information. And tried again (after reopening the register page so I can see the captcha image) and retyped all again. Then it popped up a browser authentication login window. I typed in my new username and password. Then the browser complained: The page isn't redirecting properly The logs showed it tried to load the login page about ten times within one second. So I disabled the component and restarted. I was logged in as my new test user automatically. Any suggestions on how to configure a registration captcha? or a different plugin I should use? We get five to 25 spam registrations each month and we want to limit them. I am guessing these are automated registrations. I can't log out -- that it the logout works but I press login and I don't have to retype any credentials. Even if I close the browser tab and reload the webpage. This does not seem secure at all -- how to use this trac on somebody else's browser if I can't log out? How can I switch back to my correct user account? (This is unrelated to the captcha plugin issues.) Jeremy C.
