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

[Thomas Rochford]

Hi everyone,

 

It would be good if this could be an 'include' file. I assume this is
possible in php but am not sure how to do it. This would be a massive help
because the file could be populated semi/automatically without breaking the
code. This would be especially helpful to WBL and ACL providers whose users
are not normally managed through LDAP or AD.

 

Kindest Regards,

Thomas

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"),

    );

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?
