Thread:Project:Support desk/Protecting Sysop and Admin Email Password Reset/reply (2)

Hi,

Thanks for reply :-) I want that only Users within a IP range able to perform passowrds reset, especially to protect admin accounts :-)

If a user named 'ACME' try to reset a password, 'ACME' is able to fill the field with a username identified as admin (let's call it 'Admin') => in a such case, user 'Admin' will receive an email telling him the password has been reset & has to be change.

Of course, I can also setup Wiki Users not to be able reseting their passwords, but I want to keep to the possibility for any Users to perform password reset BUT IF their own IP is not within a IP range AND they supply the username 'Admin', mediawiki will reply "You are not allowed to send a request for reseting the password for 'Admin'".

Of course, if 'Admin' is identified as a valid IP user, mediawiki will allow 'Admin' to receive a new password. May be that it is not possible to do this, I will understand if a such behavior is not possible at that time (V 1.22).

Regards.
