Question

Hi - I have successfully installed twiki (sep 04) and set up basic authentification with the session plugin.

However i have just noticed that when i create a new user via twiki regsitration it makes a username entry to my htpasswd file but does not make an encrypted password entry? The entry is blank for example:

"RobertBruce:"

Here is the password entry from my TWiki.cfg:

$htpasswdFormatFamily = "htpasswd"; if( $OS eq "WINDOWS" ) { $htpasswdEncoding = "sha1"; #windows apache } else { $htpasswdEncoding = "clear"; } # Pathname of user name/password file for authentication : if ( $htpasswdFormatFamily eq "htpasswd" ) { $htpasswdFilename = "$dataDir/.htpasswd"; } elsif ( $htpasswdFormatFamily eq "hdigest" ) { $htpasswdFilename = "$dataDir/.htdigest"; } # Authentication "realm" (must be the same as in # password file, MUST NOT contain colons): $authRealm = "Enter your WikiName. (First name and last name, no space, no dots, capitalized, e.g. JohnSmith). Cancel to register if you do not have one.";

Please let me know if anymore information would help.

Thanks,

Luke
