Yeah - I know.... that needs consideration - and presumably integration into management.php or something like that.



The whole thing of e.g. what salt to use or what hash to use, or what options need passing to Moodle (e.g. Ron's restriction by roles) implies that the authentication agent(s) need a setOptions(array $x) method, and some way of defining/passing these in during setup (Which shouldn't be too hard).

So -

  * Each 'agent' has it's own set of options (store as serialised PHP in the db somewhere)
  * Each 'agent' has inbuilt functionality to allow the admin to edit/set/view the options (presumably render a zend_form instance, or just echo out html... whatever).
  * When instantiating the agent, configure it with the options which are stashed in the DB.


I've just got to pull my finger out and try and do something for this (I know how; I just need to find the time to do it)


David.
