Topic: pwauth bin

[guest22]

Hi,

I've installed mediawiki (from source) and I'm trying to follow the authentication method mentioned on mediawiki.org using pwauth ( http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:PwAuthPlugin ). It is mentioned that /usr/local/libexec/pwauth is being used and it seems that is not present on a stock SME 7.2 server.

Can somebody point out how can install the pwauth (bin version) for 7.2 or am I wrong by assuming this needs to be installed?

Thanks!

You'll find that "/usr/lib/httpd/modules/pwauth" exists, and is part of the mod_auth_external rpm.

'locate pwauth' would tell you this, after you first run 'updatedb'.

Thanks, exactly what I did. I was fooled by the exact location mentioned in the authorization script (/usr/local/libexec/pwauth) and the real location on SME 7.2. Made again an assumption

Don't believe everything you read. Most of it is wrong

Yep. btw, authentication with Mediawiki and pwauth on stock 7.2 works. (after changing the exact pwauth location in the mediawiki script )
