    249 In order to use this plugin you will need to disable the default Trac login module:
    250 {{{
    251 [components]
    252 trac.web.auth.LoginModule = disabled
    253 acct_mgr.web_ui.LoginModule = enabled
    254 }}}
    255 
    256 You will also need to '''remove''' any authentication methods on the "login" page from your Apache configuration that you may have set up during cgi or mod_python setup, e.g., look for and remove something like the following lines
    257 {{{
    258 <Location /trac/myproject/login>
    259   AuthType Basic
    260   AuthName "Bio Scripts Trac Login"
    261   AuthUserFile /path/to/trac.htpasswd
    262   Require valid-user
    263 </Location>

    277 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.

    278261
    279262If 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:

    288 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.

    309 In order to use the Account Manager plugin, while logged in as a user with TRAC_ADMIN rights, use the new "Admin" link on the menubar.

    311 Once in, you might want to enable the permissions to allow the "authenticated" user group permissions.  For instance, if you remove the anonymous group from TICKET_MODIFY, and WIKI_MODIFY, and add the "authenticated" group instead, only authenticated, logged-in (registered) users can perform ticket modifications and wiki editing.
