I'm trying to set up an "internal" system in which questions are only displayed to known users. So, I'd need a way to show the list of questions only when a user has logged in. Is there a way to accomplish that with the current version of OSQA? If not: Are there plans to implement such a feature? If not: Where would I start trying to implement that feature myself? |

Hm ... didn't show up in my search but I guess I used the wrong search terms: http://meta.osqa.net/questions/2157/can-login-be-required-to-see-the-site http://meta.osqa.net/questions/1208/how-would-i-go-about-setting-up-a-private-qa-instance Yup, I've been running behind logins for quite some time now - as per those other questions you've found - and it works very well - http://meta.osqa.net/questions/2157/can-login-be-required-to-see-the-site/7877

I'm not sure if it's quite what you're hoping to do, but you could push the authentication step out one layer to the webserver so that no-one could even see the site without logging in first. If you wanted to do that you would authentication using REMOTE_USER, which basically works by simply trusting the webserver to tell you who is accessing the site. 1
That might be a possible approach. I'm using IIS, so might be able to use the authentication methods offered by IIS. However, I'm also planning to do single-sign on which might be easier to implement using Django-based methods than putting it into IIS (not even sure if putting that into IIS is supported at all).
