Hi all, I want to separate user_information from auth_information. The reason is that the authentification may come from some other source. The authorization will still be done from otrs db. Examples. Users in LDAP: Authentify from LDAP. (user/pass ok? next : deny) Authorize from (user in db and isValid ? next : deny ) Users from another DB: Horde users for example: Or maybe a site running Slashcode/phpversion of slashdot Authentify from another DB( define db, table, userfield, passfield) Authorize from otrs Users from otrs DB: Authentify from table (auth) Authorie from table (system_users) makes sense? I want to create a small table called "auth" id int auto_increment login varchar not null pw varchat not null and authentify from this table. Once this goal is reached, writting other Auth classes would be a breeze. please comment. best regards PS:: Is there a dev mailing list? If yes, I dont want to bore the users. -- Atif Ghaffar ---------------------------. +41 78 845 31 64 ¦ tel aghaffar@developer.ch ¦ email http://atifghaffar.com ¦ www 8206786 ¦ icq
