I'd like to have some pages of my wiki to be only viewable by some users.
|
|
|
|
I could use htaccess for that, but it would force the users to have
|
|
2 authentication mecanisms, so I'd prefer to use openID for that too.
|
|
|
|
* I'm thinking of adding a "show" parameter to the cgi script, thanks
|
|
to a plugin similar to goto.
|
|
* When called, it would check the credential using the session stuff
|
|
(that I don't understand yet).
|
|
* If not enough, it would serve a 403 error of course.
|
|
* If enough, it would read the file locally on the server side and
|
|
return this as a content.
|
|
|
|
Then, I'd have to generate the private page the regular way with ikiwiki,
|
|
and prevent apache from serving them with an appropriate and
|
|
much more maintainable htaccess file.
