[Galene] regression/missing feature since 0.95

[Baptiste Daroussin]

Hello,

up to 0.9 the way I was using galene was: open to everyone as a presenter with
the login and password they want (public instances) and a "wildcard-user" with a
specific password to login directly as "operator" with the login you want.

Since the rewrite of the creds I do not seem to be able to do that, is this
intended? Am I missing an obvious setup?

either I have 

"wildcard-user": {"password": {"type": "wildcard"}, "permissions": "present"},
or 
"wildcard-user": {"password": "1234", "permissions": "op"},

But I can't seem to have both?

Best regards,
Bapt

You're right, you can no longer do that.  User matching is now done on the
username only, not on the username/password pair.

The previous setup was more flexible, but it was also too general, and it
made a number of functionalities confusing (such as "change a user's
password").

I liked it too, I'm sorry it's gone.

I understand, thanks for the quick feedback!
