Hi,

thanks for your advice. It seems I should have looked into the CVS of webrick sooner. There are enough of examples to get me going. In the meantime I established basic authentication via mod_proxy and apache.

Thanks
Sascha

I haven't yet tried enabling or integrating WEBrick authentication with Ruwiki. I know that there seem to be WEBrick htaccess auth servelet files in ruby 1.8. So you might go to to http://www.webrick.org and download some examples which use the auth classes.

One alternate thing you might look at is the ruwiki_servlet_local.rb file. It is configured to reject any but local IP addresses. A quick hack might allow you to let in range of IP addresses instead of just local IP's.

Right now, I'm trying to clean up some of the internal page and topic handling to get at the one open bug with RuWiki. However, I'll try to help with any specific issues you might have.

Hi,

and thanks for the wonderful ruwiki. I tried it today and liked it very much. Especially the fact that it is multi project aware. Actually I am going to try to use it on a project for all the use case writing. I think a wiki very well fits this. As this is a commercial project I don't want that anyone can see the wiki. Only my colleagues and I should be able to edit the pages. So I will need a way to authenticate. I am using ruwiki with the WEBrick server (otherwise I would just use .htaccess files) and I don't really know how to activate a simple HTTPAuth. Can you help?
