Hello! As announced two weeks ago I spent some time for writing a "pluggable" authentication system for JFFNMS. I am pleased to announce, that the basic functionality is already working and that you will find a preliminary patch at:
http://www.magma.com.ni/sw/jffnms/jffnms-auth.patch.gz A demo-setup is accessible at: https://www.magma.com.ni:8443/nms/ Start with user admin, pass admin. The docs and plugin sources are also on the net: http://www.magma.com.ni/sw/jffnms/auth Please start reading with README.auth. The patch should apply cleanly on a Debian Etch JFFNMS (0.8.3) installation. After creating the default database tables, source the auth/auth.sql script to add the missing tables and update 'clients' and 'auth'. Note: auth/auth.sql is Postgres only (however trivial to convert to mysql). The resulting JFFNMS installation should work identically to an unpatched version, i.e. one administrative user 'admin' with password 'admin' is created, and you can start adding users/customers without hardly noting any difference to the original JFFNMS. Please note, that I am only a casual php programmer. The "plugin" trick is done in api-classes.inc.php, in the class jffnms, function backend_auth with an "eval" statement. I am sure a better/more elegant solution can be found to achieve the required functionality and would be glad if somebody would work it out and propose or implement before things settle. Also, while writing this email I realize, that I messed up the formatting of the authenticate function, sorry, I will happily fix that one if needed :) I will be happy for any feedback, and if you bug me enough I might write on or the other most asked for authentication backend. Best Regards, Jorge-León P.S.: htdocs/admin/adm/adm_profiles.php had to be patched, to be able to alter user profiles. I guess, however, that this is an already known problem, and hope that there already exists a better fix then mine. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
