You cannot use an empty password as this is blocked in the authentication system. But as Caleb says you can use any password as long as it is set for that user. Then you can pass the username and password in the URL like the login form would Ludovic 2011/11/11 Legeinfo <vl(a)legeinfo.net> -- Ludovic Dubost Founder and CEO Blog: http://blog.ludovic.org/ XWiki: http://www.xwiki.com Skype: ldubost GTalk: ldubost

If you're using batch files to communicate with the wiki, you can create a user by sending a request to: http://xwiki/bin/register/XWiki/Register?register_first_name=John&regis… the only 3 required fields are register_password, register2_password, and xwikiname (the name of the user document, must only contain a-z, A-Z, 0-9, and _ characters) note that you will need to disable CSRF prevention tokens in the xwiki.properties file for this to work but given you are looking to register without any password, CSRF attack protection is probably not something you are looking for. then to save a page as your new user, this would be the wget command, you will need to change that for whatever http client you use. wget --user=jsmith --password=trivial http://xwiki/bin/save/Main/WebHome?basicauth=1&content=HelloWorldorld! You can just look at the source and mimic any request you would like to with your script, you can also install firebug to watch the requests happen in real time so you can mimic them easier.
