This may help though I'm not sure :) I have logged in as Admin and can see - Reset Password under Users and rights Special Page

Hello, I am new to Mediawiki, in fact wikis generally, so apologies if this is not the right list to ask for help. (If it isn't, then where do we get general help from?) We are using version 1.19.2 with the LDAPAuthentication extension. However, we are also allowing some local (wiki) accounts (we've modified the extension a little). What we would like is a 'Special' page to allow the local account users to be able to change their password (on their wiki account). I can see that there is mention of a 'passwordreset' permission in the Mediawiki code, and it looks like a special page already exists to allow password changes. However, I cannot get this to work - setting the permission and logging in, I see no special page relating to password changes. Could someone please let me know what is required in order to see this special page? Thanks, John. -- John Horne Tel: +44 (0)1752 587287 Plymouth University, UK Fax: +44 (0)1752 587001 _______________________________________________ MediaWiki-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-l ============================================================================================================================Disclaimer: This message and the information contained herein is proprietary and confidential and subject to the Tech Mahindra policy statement, you may review the policy at <a href="http://www.techmahindra.com/Disclaimer.html";>http://www.techmahindra.com/Disclaimer.html</a> externally and <a href="http://tim.techmahindra.com/tim/disclaimer.html";>http://tim.techmahindra.com/tim/disclaimer.html</a> internally within Tech Mahindra.============================================================================================================================ _______________________________________________ MediaWiki-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-l
