Auth_config.php change to

//$xerte_toolkits_site->authentication_method = 'Guest';
//$xerte_toolkits_site->authentication_method = 'Ldap';
//$xerte_toolkits_site->authentication_method = 'Db';
$xerte_toolkits_site->authentication_method = 'Static';
//$xerte_toolkits_site->authentication_method = "Moodle";

/ library/ Xerte/ Authentication/ Static.php

    /** Edit this list to your hearts content ... */
    private $_users = array(
        'pat' => array("username" => "pat", "password" => "patpassword", "firstname" => "Pat", "surname" => "West"),
        'john' => array("username" => "john", "password" => "johnpassword", "firstname" => "David", "surname" => "george"),
        'bob' => array("username" => "bob", "password" => "bobpassword", "firstname" => "Robert", "surname" => "jones"),
        'sarah' => array("username" => "sarah", "password" => "sarahpassword", "firstname" => "Sarah", "surname" => "smith"),

Subject: [Xerte-dev] Which file is authenticating on XOT install

I have a new install going on a Linux box.

The install guide was a great help getting that up and running in no time, especially with me a Linux newbie at the keyboard.

One last thing.
On completion it auto logged me in as "Guest".
Neat.

How do I add a couple accounts?
No LDAP.

Guide gives several options: ( - followed by my problem)

Demo.txt
- not present in root
Demo.php
- not present in root
Integration.txt
- can't use, standalone install
Webctlink.txt
- not present in root, standalone install anyway.
Switch.txt
- not present in root

Long ago and far away I know I hardcoded the user/pw pairs.
Still doable?
