Hello,
I have a strange thing in my wiki farm. I sent to a user (that never used any wiki) a
link to a page in one of my virtual wikis.
The first thing he is able to see is a login window on the main wiki (even if there is no
access restriction on the page)
After log in the system he comes back on the page with a message saying he has no right
to access the page but the "administrate" menu is available (and he is not one
of the administrators). In the local users of the virtual wiki i am not able to see him.
In the global i can (i guess that's ok as he logged in the main wiki)
I went on the main wiki, i deleted his local profile and asked him to go on the main page
of the virtual wiki and click on the login link (of the virtual wiki). He is now able to
see the page discussed previously and no more administrate menu is displayed (everything
is fine)
Is there any restriction about the method users have to connect and identify them the
first time ?
No, there's no reason for this. A possible explanation:
- The link followed was somehow wrong, pointing to a non-existing wiki.
- This normally redirects to the main wiki to a page explaining that
"this wiki does not exist".
- The administration menu could only appear if the rights on your main
wiki are wrongly set. I'd advise you revise your rights, since this is a
potential security issue.
