I had a look into the modules for CustomerUser and User and am thinking along the following path: If I follow the same scheme as for CustomerUser I could add a load of a User DB module in Kernel::System::User. If I then take a copy of Kernel::System::CustomerUser::DB and adapt it to my needs (pointing to my own user table, mapping field names and values, etc.) I would have created my own user backend or am I thinking too simple? One other thing I
That's correct. .-)
am not sure of yet is whether I need to adapt Kernel::System::Auth::DB and maybe I am missing out others as well. I would be very grateful if you can advise me on this and I would, of course, be perfectly happy to share the code with you when I get it working.
The Kernel::System::CustomerUser::XY module is for the customer data (name, email, ....). The Kernel::System::Auth::XY is for the authentication. So if you do have the customer passwords crypted in a SQL table, then you could use Kernel::System::Auth::DB. If you want to authentication you users aganins LDAP, use Kernel::System::Auth::LDAP. If you want your own authentication way then write your onw Kernel::System::Auth::XY. .-) I hope it helps you!
