[Pmwiki-users] extreme passwords

[Ruediger Marwein]

Hi,

I encoutered a problem when using read and write passwords at the same time.
read for normal people and write for admins. globally, by using session-auth

The problem seems to be the session-variable which does only hold one 
password at a time. So an admin has to give the read- and write-passes in 
heavy rotation.

I approximately fixed the problem by
a) taking the level into the key ("authpw$level")
b) also using authpw$level in SessionAuthFmt.

Also relying on this: What happens if I [[include]] pages which have 
different read passwords than the current page and (to let it explode) have 
a SideBar which is also read-protected on the same page, too.
The function seems to be run three times. So what happens?

Perhaps this model could be changed to "the read-password for this page 
exists in the list of read-passes the user already gave to other pages/ 
this page".
