Then once you've put in that password, you can access the wiki or whatever. It's annoying and confusing because it's a completely separate password, and it's set by the server admin and not user-changeable. So I wouldn't recommend it unless you really think you need that level of security (in which case you'd probably run it on SSL as well). - d. _______________________________________________ MediaWiki-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-l
