[Xerte] Re: Additional account?

Try the attached - hope it gets through. Rename both with .php rather than
.txt

 

Here's the principle.

 

create a new very basic php page which the static login people should go to
e.g. static.php

this would be unique to your install and therefore not broken by upgrades

 

set a session variable in there e.g. set static to true and then redirect to
index.php

 

edit auth_config.php and check for that session and switch to static
authentication if that session is set

 

So the only page you would have to protect from upgrades is auth_config.php
which to be honest if you're upgrading regularly you need to do anyway

Yes, you can. I forget the exact details.

 

Normal users continue to login through the normal page.

 

'special' users should log in at yourtoolkits/static.php

 

And you configure their username / password in static.php

 

I think that's it. I can't remember if I need to change something to handle
the 'try ldap if fail try static' logic. Give it a whirl.

Hello

 

Is there any way to set up an additional non-LDAP account in xot? I have a
dev install that is only synced with staff LDAP - there's no way they'll
implement for students at this stage but I've an enthusiastic academic with
an enthusiastic final year student who would like to use it.

 

Thanks

 

Nick
