Topic on Extension talk:ConfirmAccount

A tip to whitelist this special page.

First time user of MediaWiki. Trying to create a private Wiki (anonymous users cannot read/write until they sign-up). However, when accessing the RequestAccount page, the "Login Required" screen appears. I've whitelisted the RequestAccount, not sure what else needs to be done. v 1.27.1

$wgWhitelistRead =  array ("Main Page", "Special:UserLogin", "Special:RequestAccount", "-");

$wgGroupPermissions['*']['createaccount'] = true;

$wgGroupPermissions['*']['read'] = false;

$wgGroupPermissions['*']['edit'] = false;

Whitelisting "Special:RequestAccount" willl not be needed since you have set the permissions of $wgGroupPermissions['*']['createaccount'] to true. which means that anyone can create an account.

Try setting $wgGroupPermissions['*']['createaccount'] = false;

to make requesting an account relevant

Indeed, this configuration is a bit weird. Note that, by default, there is $wgGroupPermissions['*']['createaccount'] = false; executed by this extension (see phabricator:diffusion/ECAC/browse/master/ConfirmAccount.config.php executed from phabricator:diffusion/ECAC/browse/master/ConfirmAccount.php

(I re-close the discussion anyway since no answer from the original author since almost one year.)

This was partly in the documentation and I have just added a precision.
