    3838== Install ==
    39 
     39=== Prerequisites ===
    4040First make sure you’ve [trac:wiki:TracPlugins#Requirements installed setuptools].  Make sure you have a version >= 0.6c9, since previous versions contain a bug which makes the installation fail. Then you can install the plugin using the `easy_install` application.
    4141
    4242'''Note:''' Windows users will need to [http://peak.telecommunity.com/DevCenter/EasyInstall#windows-notes add easy_install to their PATH].
    4343
    44 For Trac 0.9:
     44=== Release Status, Downloads and Source ===
     45While in general the branch name suggests the corresponding Trac version, `0.11` should work equally well for Trac 0.11 (old stable), 0.12 (current stable) and Trac 0.13dev (development).

     51[source:/accountmanagerplugin Browse the source] with Trac. For Subversion checkout use {{{svn co <url>}}} with URL depending on your Trac version and target release (see links above).
     52
     53'''Hint:''' If you are using the tracd standalone server or Apache 2.2.x you will need to restart it to detect the plugin.
     54
     55=== About i18n/l10n support ===
     56Starting with acct_mgr-0.3 this plugin is prepared for localization.[[BR]]
     57But English message texts are still the (POSIX) default. If this isn't your preferred language, you can
     58 1. look, if it's already available from the [TracPluginTranslation Trac plugin l10n project] at [http://www.transifex.net/projects/p/Trac_Plugin-L10N/c/acct_mgr Transifex] or
     59 2. do it yourself (see the [http://trac.edgewall.org/wiki/CookBook/PluginL10N#Dotranslatorswork l10n cookbook page for Trac plugins] for more details).
     60
     61You've done a new translation? Superb! Contributing your translation is highly appreciated.[[BR]]
     62You could send it to the plugin's maintainer or contribute to [TracPluginTranslation Trac plugin l10n project]
     63via [http://www.transifex.net/projects/p/Trac_Plugin-L10N/ Transifex]:

     69Preparing the plugin from source requires '''no additional steps''' for compiling message catalog files. Only to include translations marked as `# fuzzy` by the translator, you'll want to do a manual message catalog compilation with the extra `-f` argument before packaging:
    4570{{{
    46 easy_install http://trac-hacks.org/svn/accountmanagerplugin/0.9
    47 }}}
     71cd accountmanagerplugin/
     72python ./setup.py compile_catalog -f
     73python ./setup.py bdist_egg
     74}}}
     75Complaints about missing `locale` directory are often a side-effect of failure to compile any message catalog for inclusion into Python egg, hence the whole path is missing. Due to a know Trac issue Babel has to be installed prior to Trac, to get it all working as expected.[[BR]]
     76Again, for more details see the [t:wiki:CookBook/PluginL10N#Compileanduseit l10n cookbook page for Trac plugins].

    49 For Trac 0.10:
     78== Setup ==
     79=== Components ===
     80In order to use the features of the !AccountManager you will need to enable some or all of its components.
     81The available components are mentioned below, but described in greater details on a [wiki:AccountManagerPlugin/Modules separate page].
    5082
    51 Install the trac:WebAdmin plugin.
     83||'''Component'''||'''Description/Purpose'''||'''Recommendation'''||
     84||!AccountManager ||This holds core code of this plugin. ||This component ''must'' be enabled to use any of the other components. See [wiki:AccountManagerPlugin/Modules#AccountManager details]. ||
     85||!AccountManagerAdminPages^1^ ||This component adds new pages to the trac:WebAdmin section.||The admin part for managing related parts of Trac's configuration^2^ should be an important part of what you're expecting. See [wiki:AccountManagerPlugin/Modules#AccountManagerAdminPage details]. ||
     86||!AccountModule ||Allows users to manage their account^3^ via tab “Account” in users “Preferences”. ||The user accessible part, might be required or even forbidden depending on your use case. See [wiki:AccountManagerPlugin/Modules#AccountModule details]. ||
     87||!LoginModule ||Allows users to login via a HTML form instead of using HTTP authentication. ||Replace Trac's own login module for an alternative to Simple HTTP Authentication, but only one can be enable at a time. See [wiki:AccountManagerPlugin/Modules#LoginModule details]. ||
     88||!AccountGuard ||This component adds login failure tracking and administrative account locking. ||Use it as part of your security policy to protect against brute-force attacks on user passwords. See [wiki:AccountManagerPlugin/Modules#AccountGuard details]. ||
     89||!RegistrationModule ||It adds a “Register” link on metanav^4^. ||Enable users to register a new account with a configurable procedure. See [wiki:AccountManagerPlugin/Modules#RegistrationModule details].
     90||!EmailVerificationModule ||An new email address will trigger an email with a verification code to enter, to approve it is really users own email address, and user account privileges cut down until successful verification. ||Implement a verification process for added or changed email addresses, if required. See [wiki:AccountManagerPlugin/Modules#EmailVerificationModule details]. ||
     91^1^ name in acct_mgr-0.3, old name has been `AccountManagerAdminPage`[[BR]]
     92^2^ found in `trac.ini`[[BR]]
     93^3^ change their password, or even delete their account, if permission granted by appropriate configuration[[BR]]

    153 
    154121== Post Setup/Configuration ==
    155 
    156122In 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.
    157123
    158124Once 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.
