[Moin-user] http-auth problems

[Mohacsi Janos]

Dear All,
 	I have some issues deploying the http-auth under moinmoin 1.6.x 
(It will be upgraded to 1.7 after converting to http-auth). The HTTP 
Authentication is working in principle, but:

1. I set up in the config the user_autocreate, but it does not creates 
users:

config snippet:
"
     # autocreation
     user_autocreate = True
"


When moinmoin should create the user? After first editing?

After editing I don't see any user under the user directory:
root at mmachine# ls -la moin_instance/data/user
total 6
drwxr-xr-x  2 www  www  512 Sep  8 12:40 .
drwxr-xr-x  7 www  www  512 Sep  8 11:16 ..
-rw-r--r--  1 www  www  239 Sep  8 11:16 README


2. I have some issues with the Trusted macro in ACL also.
The ACL setup is the following:

     acl_enabled = 1
     acl_rights_default = 'Trusted:read,write,delete,revert All:'
     acl_rights_before = u"mohacsi at niif.hu:read,write,delete,revert,admin"


If I setup this way the acl I cannot access the pages.

Does "Trusted" working according the help?
" Trusted is a special group containing all authenticated users who used 
HTTP-Basic-authentication. 
"


3. With a workaround I have some problem with the "signature" on the 
pages. The workaround is basically use "All:" instead of "Trusted:"

Earlier I had log:

Now I have:

So currently I see IP addresses, which is not very helpful tracking the 
users....

Any way to go back to user tracking?

Thanks in advance.
