Is authentication still out-of-the-question for the Wiki? This spam seems to be a major problem.
I have written a lightwight authorization that runs on apache servers. The application does not need to be changed, beacuse it can be used similar to basic authorization in the configuration files. You simply specify which urls are about to be protected. Also it does not store user credentials on the server, but creates tickets that are stored in the browsers cookies. The user is required to have a valid email address to which the activation code is beeing sent. This requires however that you can install perl modules on the server and have control over its configuration file. If this sounds interesting, I could send a copy of this, altough the installation is not well documented yet. Regards, Roland
