doc/forum/Can_OpenID_users_be_adminusers__63__.mdwn



I've just finished an upgrade to 3.141 and am trying to give myself admin rights to play with the new webadmin features.  My login is via OpenID but from reading on the wiki I believe that OpenID users should be able to be granted admin rights.  However I'm obviously doing something wrong as when I click on the "Preferences" link at the top of the page I don't see any admin features.
My login is: http://adam.shand.net/
In .ikiwiki/userdb I see:

adam@shand.net
email 
password 
locked_pages 
banned 
1229722296 
regdate 
http://adam.shand.net/ 

And in my config file I have:

adminuser => [qw{http://adam.shand.net/}],

Any pointers to what I'm doing wrong would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Adam.

This is certianly supposed to work. For example, the admin
user on my ikiwikis is http://joey.kitenet.net/
The only caveat I know of to make it work is that the
adminuser openid url has to exactly match the openid url that
ikiwiki sees when you log in. Including any trailing slash,
and the http://. --[[Joey]]


Hrm, it's not working.  I'm sure I've made a silly mistake somewhere but
I've looked and looked and just can't find it.  Any suggestions on where
to look for debugging information would be much appreciated. -- [[Adam]]


Well, you could use this patch to add debugging info about admin
username comparisons:


After applying that change to what is probably
/usr/share/perl5/IkiWiki/UserInfo.pm on your system,
when you go to the preferences page it should log in your web server's
error.log, something like this:


[Wed Jul 08 12:54:35 2009] [error] [client 127.0.1.1] is_admin test http://joey.kitenet.net/ vs http://joey.kitenet.net/: 1


So you can see if the two usernames/openids match. If the end is "0",
they don't match. If nothing is logged, you have not enabled the websetup plugin.
If the end if "1" you should see the "Wiki Setup" button, if not the
problem is not in determining if you're an admin, but elsewhere..

I was being incredibly stupid and missed that websetup is a plugin and thus needed to be enabled.  Many thanks for your patient assistance, by helping me eliminate the unlikely it eventually led me to the obvious.  Cheers.  -- [[Adam]]
