1) How can I stop the double login (one on edit, one on save)?
This can happen if the browser does not receive cookies, doesn't store
them, or the website doesn't send them correctly or cannot store the
session data.
I assume that your browser does accept at least 1st-party cookies
(otherwise many other websites will look broken), and your own domain is
not somehow blacklisted in the browser preferences to disallow cookies.
Otherwise try with a different browser.
See on the page
https://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/PmWiki/Troubleshooting
the question
Why is PmWiki prompting me multiple times for a password I've already
entered?
I should add 2 cases that need to be checked for the script loading
pmwiki.php (if you have one, typically index.php) and all php scripts in
the local and cookbook directories:
1. if they are saved in UTF-8, they must be without Byte Order Mark
(BOM)
2. They must not have a closing "?>" PHP marker.
This is explained in the question on the same page:
Why am I seeing "PHP Warning: Cannot modify header information -
headers already sent by ..." messages at the top of my page.
Finally, review the question:
How do I make a PHP Warning about function.session-write-close go
away?
in case your server cannot save the session data.
Your PHP installation may be configured to not show any warnings -- some
hosting providers do this for "production" websites.
2) Is there a way that I can get a single login to be remembered?
Fixing 1) above should fix this too.
3) Is there a way to display the name of the current user inside a
page? I thought {$AuthId} would display it, but it's not showing a
value.
It does. Fixing 1) above should fix this too.
4) Is there a way to display the members of the @editors group?
Once you fix the cookie/session problem, you can add $EnableDiag = 1; to
config.php and as a logged-in user you can go to pmwiki.php?action=diag
This should show you your current permissions/groups in the
$_SESSION['authlist'] entry.
Note that PmWiki allows you to be logged in with more than one
username/permissions -- as it finds a protected area, it cycles through
all permissions/passwords you already have provided within the current
browsing session.

I'm setting up a new instance of PMWiki. The site is running
pmwiki-2.2.133.
When I go to edit a page I get prompted for a user / password. But
when I save, I also get prompted for a user / password.
From my config.php file
## Set up some users
$AuthUser['Astro'] = pmcrypt('astropassword');
$AuthUser['Robot'] = pmcrypt('robotpassword');
$AuthUser['@editors'] = array ('Astro', 'Robot');
# Now give them edit ability
$DefaultPasswords['edit'] = array(pmcrypt('editpagepassword'),
#global edit password
'@editors'); # and the editors
## Turn on auth system
include_once("$FarmD/scripts/authuser.php");
I can edit pages as logging in as Astro and Robot with their
password. I can also edit with the global password. (The site Admin
has the same behavior)
I've been through the Password page and the Auth User page and didn't
see any other special setup info
Questions:
1) How can I stop the double login (one on edit, one on save)?
2) Is there a way that I can get a single login to be remembered?
When I go to edit the file, I put in the user / password, and on the
edit page I get View, Edit, History, Print and_ Logout_ links. But
once I do the save (with the second authentication) there is no longer
a Logout link. In a more perfect world I'd be able to login once and
have it stick.
a) I have tried using the Auth User form and it shows a logon, but it
does not seem to stay.
b) I've tried setting $EnableIMSCaching = 1; to both zero and one
and the results don't change.
3) Is there a way to display the name of the current user inside a
page? I thought {$AuthId} would display it, but it's not showing a
value.
4) Is there a way to display the members of the @editors group?
Thanks for your help!
