OK thanks .. that's working well .. for scenario 1)
Now .. even post restarts. I can not get the value to work when setting
xwiki.authentication.loginpage=/where/mylogin/shouldgo
Does this need to be set somewhere else as well?
Why do you want to change the login page? Unless it sits in a different application, outside XWiki, you should just configure your authenticator to perform its magic in the default URL. Normally, for changing the authentication mechanism, you should write a java class extending com.xpn.xwiki.user.impl.xwiki.XWikiAuthServiceImpl and registering it in xwiki.cfg at the xwiki.authentication.authclass key, for example: xwiki.authentication.authclass=com.xwiki.authentication.ntlm.NTLMAuthServiceImpl If you only want to change how the username/password check is done, you can override only the authenticate method and hook to your custom authenticator. There are various example authenticators which you can start from at http://svn.xwiki.org/svnroot/xwiki/contrib/sandbox/authenticators/
