OK. > The users want to password-protect the wiki by using single username > and password that everyone on the team would use. Could be done, but IMHO that is a bad idea. If everybody uses the same username, you don't see who did what change. If someone leaves the team, he/she will still know the password - no easy way to revoke access. Also, the probability that such a "common user/password" leaks out and is soon known by everybody is rather high. So I suggest you have username/password for each user (as usual). Then have a page UserGroup and put all legitimate usernames into a 1st level list on that group definition page. Then use UserGroup:read,write,delete,revert in your default acl. If you do it that way, every UserGroup member can add new members to / remove other members from the group definition. If that is not wanted, just use a non-default acl on the UserGroup page. > The help file indicates the basic authentication method by moin via > username/password would import MoinMoin/auth/MoinAuth. > from MoinMoin.auth import MoinAuth > auth = [MoinAuth()] Looks like you are reading the 1.7 docs (and auth is slighlty different there). You have a full set of matching help pages in YOUR wiki.

Well, you could have a restrictive acl_rights_default and just open the front page for everybody (the front page would not contain any sensitive information in that case). ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ Moin-user mailing list Moin-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/moin-user
