    188 
    189 '''Warning:''' this module is not supported using the [trac:TracStandalone tracd] stand-alone server on Trac 0.9.  It either needs Trac 0.10 or later, or an external webserver such as Apache.
    190

    201 ==== Disable HTTP authentication ====
    202 
    203 To use the AccountManager’s form-based login system instead, add this your trac.ini:
    204 
    205 {{{
    206 #!cfg
    207 [components]
    208 trac.web.auth.LoginModule = disabled
    209 }}}
    210 
    211 When using the [trac:TracStandalone tracd] server be sure '''not''' to use the `--auth` or `--basic-auth` options.  Using either of these options will cause tracd to popup the username/password dialog box and you will not be able to use the HTML form.
    212 
    213 If you have previously enabled authentication for Trac on Apache, you will need to disable it or Apache will popup the username/password dialog and you will be unable to use the HTML form.  In order to disable the authentication look for a section in the Apache configuration file like:
    214 
    215 {{{
    216 <Location /trac/login>
    217    # Some options like AuthType and AuthUserFile
    218    Require valid-user
    219 </Location>
    220 }}}
    221 
    222 Deleting or commenting the `Require valid-user` line should be sufficient to disable HTTP authentication.  After you’ve tested it you can probably delete or comment out the rest of the authentication options. In some pre-bundled packages as Bitnami Trac you will find it inside an apache configuration extension as trac.conf (BitnamiTrac\trac\conf\trac.conf)
     189See [wiki:AccountManagerPlugin/Modules#LoginModule details].

    224191=== !RegistrationModule ===
    225  '''Package''':: acct_mgr.web_ui
    226 
    227 Enables users to register a new account.  It adds a “Register” link on the same menu bar as the “Login” link.
    228 
    229 {{{
    230 #!cfg
    231 [components]
    232 acct_mgr.web_ui.RegistrationModule = enabled
    233 }}}
    234 
    235 [[Image(register.png)]]
    236 
    237 {{{
    238 #!div class="important"
    239 '''Warning:''' You must enable one of the [wiki:AccountManagerPlugin/AuthStores password storage modules] for the Registration Module to work.
    240 }}}
    241 '''Note:''' You must not enable `ignore_auth_case` in `trac.ini` as otherwise this module won’t work.
     192Enables users to register a new account.  It adds a “Register” link on metanav, the same menu bar as the “Login” link.

     195
    242196
    243197=== !EmailVerificationModule ===
    244  '''Package''':: acct_mgr.web_ui
    245 
    246 If you enable this, users will be sent an email with a verification code to enter, to approve it is really their own email address:
    247 
    248 {{{
    249 #!cfg
    250 [components]
    251 acct_mgr.web_ui.EmailVerificationModule = enabled
    252 }}}
    253 
    254 Until they entered the verification code on the URL sent with the email, their permissions will be restricted (even if they have the TRAC_ADMIN privilege, they won't be able to access anything exceeding the standard privileges of ''authenticated'' users). ''Update:'' After changeset [9304] ACCTMGR_ADMIN (and TRAC_ADMIN, as it inherits it among all other privileges) won't be bothered with the verification procedure.
    255 
    256 This '''has been added as a strict requirement now''' as suggested by ticket #5509 to ''trunk'' code with changeset [9277], but was not enforced before, so verification only happened, if an email had been specified on registration. In other words, if some user registered w/o specifying an email address, this was possible and an unrestricted account was created without requiring further actions.
    257 
    258 Note that if you don't want to enforce entering a valid email on registration, you may want to disable this component. An option
    259 {{{
    260 #!cfg
    261 [account-manager]
    262 verify_email = false
    263 }}}
    264 for switching this off easily, to restore the old behavior of AccountManagerPlugin by default, is available since changeset [9304] as well.
     198Adding or changing an email address will trigger an email with a verification code to enter, to approve it is really users own email address, and user account priviledges cut down until successful verification.
