Change password

Line: 20 to 20

Note to administrator: The change password form applies only if TWiki uses Basic Authentication, e.g. a .htpassword file managed by TWiki. It does not apply if you are using external authentication, such as an IT managed password system. (remove this note if you are using Basic Authentication; else replace this topic with a note describing how to change the password in your organization)

So far as I can tell, this applies only if you are using something like twiki basic authentication, using a htpassword file managed by twiki. It does not apply if you are using external authentication, such as an IT managed password system.

See ConfusionReconcilingCompanyWebAuthenticationWithTWikiAuthentication?

It's still a good idea to change your password regularly; you just may not be able to do it from within TWiki. Or at least from within the default set of TWiki tools.

(I find this sort of thing that applies to some but not all twiki configurations, without an indication of what configurations it applies to, very confusing.)

Thanks for the heads-up, added a note for admin.
