Archived Discussion
The below requirements were gathered before work was completed. They are retained here for archival purposes.
Current Windows Authentication based on NTFS folder security permissions should not be impacted
Move Restore functionality from default.aspx to restoreversion.aspx. Thus it will be possible to implement unauthenticated reader / authenticated editor scenarios with Windows Authentication (rename.aspx and wikiedit.aspx are already there)
Security enforced at the Namespace level
Namespaces can be identified as being unsecured. Allowing anonymous access to the namespace for read/write operations.
a variation on this idea, would take more effort to implement but might yield better results. Instead of denying access to users at troublesome hosts, we could let them believe that their malicious edits were accepted, by sending them back their own pages, but sending back the real pages to everyone else.
