We need to get the things in that are going in and leave (for now at least) the things that aren't: only you guys know where you are up to on the various things you each have going on. Getting the main Xerte standlone exe built is a great milestone, but we do still need to properly test the 'gold' toolkits code. There is the issue of timings, discussed yesterday.<br><br><br><br>Hi,<br><br>Find attached a patch which takes me up to where I got to with changing the authentication stuff.<br><br>Namely :<br><br>1. There are some changes to the LDAP module - this partly conflicts with Pat's renaming of $eureka_username. I think I removed the (what seemed) duplication of code between an anonymous bind and authenticated bind - but I've not had a chance to test it, so I could have screwed stuff up.<br><br>2. Each 'module' (Static, Db, Ldap etc) should now have a 'getForm()' method (they're not all complete) which is responsible for returning a Zend_Form object. The intention is that when going through the /setup process, the user is firstly given a drop down allowing them to choose which authentication agent they wish to use. After choosing one (e.g. Xerte_Authentication_Db), the setup wizard would render the output from Xerte_Authentication_Db::getForm() (i.e. the output from calling $form->render(new Zend_View())). Upon submitting this, and the validators passing, the database would have persisted in it the appropriate config bits which would be used from then on.<br><br>3. When authenticating an end user, the Xerte_Authentication_Db adaptor would read from the Db it's options (from step #2 above) and know how to behave. <br><br>4. My current stumbling block is knowing where to draw the line - namely how much flexibility should I put into each of the authentication adaptors and their self-configuration - clearly it would be possible for the Db adaptor to specify a remote database name, database table, database fields, hashing scheme, salting of passwords and so on - which would make it quite complex. Likewise, the Ldap adaptor could allow the end user to specify all field names, and so on...<br><br>5. There's a little bit more than needs doing to Xerte_Authentication_Abstract so that it handles the POSTing of the Zend_Form object, and storing that into the database, but not much.<br><br><br><br>zcat patch.txt | patch -p0 within the 'trunk' directory should work if anyone wishes to see what I've done and perhaps finish it. It looks increasingly unlikely that I will be able to work on this within the next fortnight.<br><br><br><br>thanks<br>David.<br><br><br>Pale Purple Ltd.
