-====== Plain Text Authentication Backend ======
-| Since the release 2013-05-10 “Weatherwax”\\ see [[plugin:AuthPlain]] plugin page\\ \\ For releases 2012-10-13 “Adora Belle” and older\\ see info below|
-This backend uses a plain text file //conf/users.auth.php// to store user information and passwords. Passwords are stored using one way encryption (aka. hashing).
-This is the default backend.
-===== Configuration =====
-The backend will be enabled with the [[config:authtype]] configuration option
-<code php>
-$conf['authtype'] = "plain";
-</code>
-(this should be in your conf/local.php )
-===== File Format =====
-Empty lines, and everything after a ''#'' character are ignored. Each line contains a colon separated array of 5 fields which are:
-  * **Login** - This has to be a valid [[:pagename]]
-  * **Password** - Encrypted password. The encryption method can be anything accepted by [[config:passcrypt|passcrypt option]] (DokuWiki will autodetect the used encryption)
-  * **Real Name** - Real name of the user
-  * **E-Mail** - Email address of user
-  * **Groups** - Comma separated list of groups a user is member of. The group names must follow the rules of valid [[:pagename]]s.
-To create MD5 hash values from a string you could use the script [[http://www.splitbrain.org/encode.php|encode/decode]]. Due to the much better built-in functions of DokuWiki this script is deprecated and only stored here for nostalgia.
-Example:

-===== Editing =====
-Since //conf/users.auth.php// is a plain text file, it can be edited with any text editor.
