We've got working authentication. I assume that this means a lot of you will need your passwords reset ;-). This requires me manually adding the hashed password string to the password file, so email them to me at kmself@ix.netcom.com. I'm going to try to arrange for local mail on the iwethey.org box so I can act on things like this other than mornings and evenings.

Post #40,573 by drewk 5/30/02 2:55:14 PM Reply	Hmm, minor bug When I first signed up I used DrewK instead of DrewKime as my WikiName. I just changed it to what I want and all the references were updated, but every page that was affected by that change says it was edited by DrewK. IOW it used the name I was changing from as the user making the change. Small issue, but all the same ... BTW is the InterWiki plugin still somewhat beta? I was trying to work with it and it's really hard to get what you want. OK, what I want. Eg: [[Wiki:Wiki][link text]] doesn't work. (Can't find what I was working on right now to give an example.) === Microsoft offers them the one thing most business people will pay any price for - the ability to say "we had no choice - everyone's doing it that way." -- [link\|http://z.iwethey.org/forums/render/content/show?contentid=38978\|Andrew Grygus]
Post #40,623 by kmself 5/30/02 7:37:29 PM Reply	Authentication -- who are you? The TWiki registration drives an .htpasswd file by userid. There are now entries for "DrewK" and "DrewKime". I suspect if you log out and log back in, you'll be DrewKime. Let me know when that happens and I'll delete the old account. `-- Karsten M.

Post #40,694 by drewk 5/31/02 9:05:28 AM Reply	How do you log out? I didn't see a link for it. Maybe I should look harder. In any case, it's getting the right WikiName for me when I update pages. If you're saying there are two htpasswd entries for me, go ahead and nuke the drewk one. I'd rather my account match my WikiName. If I can't get in next time I go, I'll let you know.

Post #40,761 by kmself 5/31/02 4:24:41 PM Reply	Exit the browser It's just basic web authentication. I understand this only partially, but am given to think that it's a session-based authentication. If you're using a "remember the userid/password" feature for your browser, you'll want to reset/delete this information as well. `-- Karsten M.
