I run two protected wikis for a big company, along with a dozen or so unprotected wikis, all on the same DL 360 server. I just use Apache directory passwords - any access attempt to the restricted wikis pops up a username and password dialog. The wiki owners can give out those users and passwords to whomever they want.

Hi there,
Were are doing a Wiki on the Intranet of a big company. We do not want to expose the Wiki to all of the company's employees, but rather restrict access to a particular group of people.
Would it be possible to provide acccess based on IP adress-ranges (not having to provide an account and password and doing all the maintenance; resetting passwords etc.)? I know that we then do not have automatically logged in editors, but is just good to know the possibility.
Anyone else having these kind of issues on an Intranet?
By the way is it actually possible to reset a password for a user?
Many thanks,
Marcel
