[edit] perspective wiki

hi,

i'm trying to integrate my perspective wiki with our active directory domain. as of yet i haven't managed to do so.

how can i use the domain users/groups within active directory, to setup permissioning on perspective, and so only a certain domain group can access a particualr resource??

also, if you setup the perspective directory with windows integrated authentication, it will auto authenticate you in IE, how can you disable this, so that all users, whether internal/external, will be prompted to login?

thanks

[edit] What software plays your sound bites?

Nothing I have will play .ogg files. Where can I obtain this software or add-ons. Thanks, 198.234.148.126 20:29, 9 March 2006 (UTC) Rick rawilliams@odod.state.oh.us

[edit] Oops, newbie clobbers article he is replying to

I didn't realize that when I went to make an "edit" to a talk page entry, that the quoted text was not going to display as quoted text in my reply, thus repeating the article I was replying to. So I deleted the quoted text when I was replying to the other person.

The page is: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Monty_Hall_problem

Can you recover the article that I was replying to and put it back?

I started off my article by saying "That's correct".

Thanks.

[edit] Wrong Display Font

A little over a week ago, a program I updated messed up my font directory. I got everything fixed except for Wikipedia using IE. When I access a page in Wikipedia using IE, I now have it displayed in a font that looks very much like Ariel Black, a heavy font. However, when I access Wikipedia using Opera, everything is normal. Does anyone know how to correct this problem? I would be most appreciative.

[edit] How do you create a new entry with someone who has the same name as another entry?

Hi,

How do you create a new entry with someone who has the same name as another entry?

Thanks!

[edit] can't log in

I try to login, and I am accepted. it says I'm successful at logging in. I then try to do something requiring the login privilege (like changing preferences or editing, and it says I'm not logged in. This is true on several of my computers including Win XP Sp2 and MacOSX.

Any help would be appreciated. I am on Hughes network D7000 sat modem.
