[Xerte] ANN: Toolkits Beta 0.9

Tue Dec 2 09:38:18 GMT 2008

If there is only a few of you who will use it, you could also
prepopulate the table in the database with some user names and set up
the index.php to look over the names.

	It doesn't strictly need to authenticate to work - it just needs
some session variables setting.

	The basic AD I used to run had LDAP on as standard.

	I'm checking with my server friend on how to find out if LDAP is
working properly / on.

		Toolkits just needs a username, so it can start a
session based on it, right Pat? 

		There are many ways the user name could be validated,
but once the validation has occurred we could easily put some code in
for you to call after the login and start the session. Then it's easy to
hook up whatever login process you want to.

		How does it authenticate?

		Just straight off the AD?

for that?

		Hello,

		Same authentication as last time, LDAP or a modded
demo.php.

		If you have another system than can handle your
authentication then I
		could offer advice as to what you could change in
demo.php to merge the
		two.

		Jules,

		We have had lots of problems being able to use the
toolkits from our own
		server because of having to create our own database to
login users and
		also because we don't know anything about ldap and only
a little PHP.

		Will this new version let us just slap it onto the
server and use it out
		of the box or will anyone installing this version still
need their own
		solution for logging in?

		Cheers mate,

		Paul
