Help a new user set up logins, registration, confirmation e-mail

[David Talmage]

I'm a new Trac user/administrator. I've utterly failed to configure
Trac the way I need it to work. I need help.

I want my Trac to let people sign up for accounts. I'd like each new
user to receive a confirmation e-mail and to give the token enclosed
in the e-mail to Trac on the first login. If possible, I want to
approve or deny requests for new accounts. This has to work with
Apache. I don't care if Trac does the authentication or it delegates
to Apache.

Please, please, please, will someone on this list send me
instructions, on drool-proof paper if necessary? I've read virtually
everything on the Trac web site about this topic. I've still failed to
make Trac do what I want. This is quite frustrating. I'm not usually
incompetent at these things.

Best wishes,

David Talmage

After sleeping on it, I realized that I could have included more
information about what I tried.

I install all of the modules I could need. I succeeded in making
httppasswd authentication work. That one isn't supported by the
registration module. The other authentication schemes either gave me
a python stack dump or didn't recognize my existing users. Even when
I reregistered a user, he never received his confirmation e-mail.

Basically, I followed all of the instructions I could find on the wiki
and in the cookbook. Nothing gave me a completely working Trac. My
google-fu is strong and I used google extensively and still failed to
make Trac work as I need. I've been working at this off and on for a
month.

You'll probably need the AccountManagerPlugin to accomplish this. The wiki page has lots of good information on how to configure it.
