Yes, there are some attempts at a trac specific solution, but I was thinking of a generic one, e.g. one that feeds an LDAP server and then trac/mediawiki/moin/apache/you_name_it can simply query the login credentials. That way this solution will be usable by far more than a trac instance. The LDAP part is dealt with at CLI level. What is missing is the Web interface. I envision it as such: o User gives in data required, this would be Name (but split in first/last), email & password. This is protected by a (re)captcha. There is already a lib for PHP for recaptcha. o The system stores a cookie and sends the authentication code to the email specified (just like mailman) o The user clicks on the web authentication URL and the web app calls a cli app that creates the account In our case the cli app will be pushing the credential data to an LDAP server, another implementation could use htdiegst files, /etc/passwd, (l)useradd etc. It is not much different from what mailman does other than adding a captcha. -- Axel.Thimm at ATrpms.net -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
