Deny anonymous users to read pages in a Blue Spice wiki

Currently i am using GroupPermissionManager to deny all anonymous users from reading pages in our wiki. New users and groups can be added only by an administrator - that's very important for an enterprise wiki. Unfortunately - after installing bluespice - anonymus users can read some pages (for example the Main Page). GroupPermissionManager is no longer maintained, so there'll be no fix to harmonize it with blue spice.

I guess there is no funcionallity in bluespice to reach the same? Or are there any known extensions working with bluespice to crate kind of a "closed user group wiki"? LDAP is not an option, because i want to run the wiki on a low budget webspace.

Similar, I like to open the wiki for anyone to read, edits only by email confirmed members, very easy using vanilla mediawiki, how to accomp the same with bluespice?

I like to do the same as Benjamin,

Sorry for the late answer, I just came across your comment. Until BlueSpice 1.0, we shipped default MW settings, which included some pages on the whitelist. This is why some pages were readable. These settings were stored in the folder bluespice-mw/config/custom-settings.php. In the current version of BlueSpice (1.0.1) there is a Group- and a PermissionManager included, which is a kind of user interface for MW and Extension:Lockdown permission settings, so you don't have to have LDAP to restrict read access. $wgEmailConfirmToEdit should not be affected by BlueSpice. Just set it to true in LocalSettings.php to allow edits only for email confirmed members --Mglaser 21:52, 29 September 2011 (UTC)
