[SAC] mantra-based user registration

Committees SAC mailing list

I've implemented my mantra-based idea to re-enable
user registration. Could you please review the
page and tell me if you're ok with switching the
default user registration form to that ?

I'm actually thinking that with the mantra-based
approach we could also drop the captcha, so there's
no need to let Google know about OSGeo activities...

FYI: I've enabled it, I belive in it.
The only possible problem I can think of is an IRC channel takeover.

It's deployed on the official url now:
https://www.osgeo.org/cgi-bin/ldap_create_user2.py

The requested URL /cgi-bin/ldap_create_user2.py was not found on this server.

Apache/2.2.16 (Debian) Server at www.osgeo.org Port 443

is the URL right?

In addition I suggest to set Apache’s

ServerSignature off

Sorry, typo. The official url is:
https://www.osgeo.org/cgi-bin/ldap_create_user.py

In addition I suggest to set Apache's
ServerSignature off

Please ticket this.

I have just done it now in
/etc/apache2/conf.d/security

and reloaded the Apache conf. Now the version advertisement is gone :slight_smile:

Thanks. I've initialized a git repository in /etc/apache2
(we're talking about the "web" machine).

Please commit future changes in.
For best tracking, please export:

GIT_AUTHOR_NAME="Your Name"
GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL=your@ema.il

(hint: sudo -E retains env)
