Thank you, I managed to customise it to what I wanted. I create new
users manually directly in the mySQL database. Later, the user sets
his password. (Passwords are encrypted so that I don't see them
accidentally, but I recommend my users not to use valuable
passwords.) Is this a good approach?

Yes, this was not the problem.
The breakthrough was getting rid of the table prefix. Some parts of
phpWiki wanted to have a table "user", others "PREFIX_user". The
only solution was deleting it. Then, two fields in table "user"
were commented out in mysql-initialize.sql (e.g. "groupname"), but I
needed them for the Db authentication method.
Moreover, USER_AUTH_METHOD must have been "first-only", because
"strict" yielded
Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in
/export/websites/9/1/sb003732/wiki/lib/WikiUser/PearDb.php on
line 173
when I tried to log in as an unauthorised user.
By the way, what does "Overlage Session data" mean?
Tschö,
Torsten.
