Because of the way the TYPO3 backend authentication system works, performing proper secure “superchallenged” authentication between jEdit and TYPO3 is impossible. The plugin sends your admin password in the clear over HTTP. Beware when using this system to administer remote sites and consider using an encrypted VPN or an SSL webserver if you are worried about someone eavesdropping on the connection.

Authentication has only been tested using standard be_user lookup, but this extension has been designed to utilise auth services, and should therefore support other schemes such as IP-based or LDAP-based authentication where it complies with the auth services API. If you use an exotic backend authentication scheme and find your admin-level login failing, please contact me and I'll see what I can do.

Syntax highlighting doesn't work if you have a version of jEdit less than 4.3pre4 and don't have version 0.1.1 or greater of the client.

Client version 0.1.0 is not compatible with TYPO3 4.0. This extension and version 0.1.1 of the client has been tested for basic functionality against TYPO3 4.0 beta 3.

There have been reports of Umlauts not transferring properly for Windows users. I've tried to provide a remedy, but there seems to still be issues. If you have this problem (especially on a non-windows system) please email me.
