[pmwiki-users] Page question

[Mailinglists]

Thank you so much for the time and effort. I'm sure this will work.

The reason I didn't use AuthUser in the first place was to avoid the need for both a username and password. For my purposes just a password is more desirable. I may try a variation and just create an "if...then" kind of sequence where I check the password entered and redirect to the appropriate page.

This isn't a large site and I don't necessarily need it to automatically redirect based on login name. I'll take the tradeoff of having it be a little more of a manual configuration so that the end user only has to remember a password and not a username / password combo. Does this sound like something that would still work?

Thanks again.
