I never liked authclass property but what we should have in it's place require major refactoring and your proposal is not worst than the current situation so I'm fine with it. +0 On Fri, Oct 21, 2016 at 9:59 AM, Alexandru Cotiuga <alexandru.cotiuga@xwiki.com> wrote:
Since the xwiki.cfg allows the same for all the wikis, I was thinking for now to keep the same behaviour but with XWikiPreference so this would mean that the main wiki will be the only one taken into account.

Note there there is a big different between XWikiPreferences page and xwiki.cfg: each wiki has its own.
So do you plan to refactor the auth system to let each wiki have a different authenticator ? Or is the main wiki the only one that will be taken into account ?

Hi devs,
I'm proposing to add this new property to the *XWikiPreferences* class since there are many authenticators, listed on http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Features/Authentication and most of them require the overriding of the *xwiki.authentication.authclass* property in the *WEB-INF/xwiki.cfg* file and the restart of the wiki. So the *authclass* is meant to keep the value of the *xwiki.authentication.authclass *property*.*
Please keep in mind that *xwiki.cfg* was the historical file containing the configuration options, we're moving away from it and this can be the moment to improve this functionality by removing the *restart wiki* step which is often a pain for the user.
