[pmwiki-users] htpasswdForm

[Sameer Kumar]

Thanks for your quick response, Dominique.

 

Currently, when I arrive at the homepage, I see a default PmWiki login
form. 

 

How can I replace this with a customized login form which would offer a
link for registration of a new user?

How and where do I create the new user registration form?

 

Also, please see my response below to your previous questions:

Yes, the recipe handle only the files, not the full directory path to
them.

IMHO, you should choose the method according to your

"exploitation-context". The answer to some questions like below may

help you to decide:

 

Are you dealing with one our more operating system?

Ans: It would be either Windows or Mac OS.

 

How are your user authenticated on it/them?

Ans: We logon into our Windows Network (WinServer2003) through Windows
logon. I am not sure how the Mac OS users logon.

 

In an heterogeneous enviroment, are the all the different auth

mecanisms synched together?

Ans: I think they are. That is how we share all the network drives.

 

Is there a "politically-correct" way of leading user authentication in

your organization?

Ans: I don't know. What does that mean?

 

How many users are planned?

Ans: Around 30. It would not be a big deal to manually create the users
if we chose to.

 

Do they really need to be authenticated individually?

Ans: Yes, it is important to document the authors for the wiki to be
successful.
