Note there there is a big different between XWikiPreferences page and xwiki.cfg: each wiki has its own. So do you plan to refactor the auth system to let each wiki have a different authenticator ? Or is the main wiki the only one that will be taken into account ? On Fri, Oct 21, 2016 at 8:57 AM, Alexandru Cotiuga <[email protected]> wrote:
Hi devs,
I'm proposing to add this new property to the *XWikiPreferences* class since there are many authenticators, listed on http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Features/Authentication and most of them require the overriding of the *xwiki.authentication.authclass* property in the *WEB-INF/xwiki.cfg* file and the restart of the wiki. So the *authclass* is meant to keep the value of the *xwiki.authentication.authclass *property*.*
Please keep in mind that *xwiki.cfg* was the historical file containing the configuration options, we're moving away from it and this can be the moment to improve this functionality by removing the *restart wiki* step which is often a pain for the user.
Thanks, Alex _______________________________________________ devs mailing list [email protected] http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/devs
