| 10 | {{image reference="login.png"/}} | ||
| 11 | |||
| 12 | == Forgot Username == | ||
| 13 | |||
| 14 | If you forgot your username, you can retrieve it by clicking on the "Forgot your username?" link: | ||
| 15 | |||
| 16 | {{image reference="login-forgot-username-1"/}} | ||
| 17 | |||
| |

| 27 | |||
| |
20.1 | 28 | Then, you'll need to indicate your username and if you had an email address set for your user, you'll receive a email with a link to set a new password (the mail template can be [[customized>>documentation.xs.admin.authentication.customize-mail-templates.WebHome]]). |

| |
10.1 | 34 | XWiki Standard embeds several authentication mechanisms by default: |
 |
1.1 | 35 | |
| |
3.1 | 36 | * Form authentication |
| 37 | * Basic authentication | ||
| |
1.1 | 38 | |
| |
3.1 | 39 | In addition XWiki allows you to create your own authentication extension in order to integrate with any custom mechanism you might be using already (SSO, etc). |
| |
1.1 | 40 | |
| |
11.2 | 41 | Additional authenticators are available as extensions on [[extensions.xwiki.org>>extensions:Main.WebHome]]: |

| 44 | #set ($xwql = "from doc.object(ExtensionCode.ExtensionClass) as extension, doc.object(EXOExtensionCode.ExtensionClass) as exoextension where extension.category = 'authenticator'") | ||
| 45 | #set ($extensions = $services.query.xwql($xwql).setWiki('extensions').execute()) | ||
| 46 | #foreach ($extension in $extensions) | ||
| 47 | * [[extensions:$extension]] | ||

11.1 | 51 | {{info}} |
| 52 | Note that several extensions are not yet categorized in the ##authenticator## category on [[extensions.xwiki.org>>extensions:Main.WebHome]] and this is why they don't appear in the list above. For the moment, here's list of all extensions having "Authenticator" in the name: | ||
| 53 | |||
| 54 | {{velocity}} | ||
| 55 | #set ($xwql = "from doc.object(ExtensionCode.ExtensionClass) as extension, doc.object(EXOExtensionCode.ExtensionClass) as exoextension where extension.name like '%Authenticator%'") | ||
| 56 | #set ($extensions = $services.query.xwql($xwql).setWiki('extensions').execute()) | ||
| 57 | #foreach ($extension in $extensions) | ||
| 58 | * [[extensions:$extension]] | ||
| 59 | #end | ||
