I think the easiest way to do what you outlined is have a page set
without
authentication, have form elements where a username an password can be
entered,
and when you get them send them back to the browser in a cookie, for
example:
OptionalUserName=username
OptionalPassword=password
and then in the topof the page (or in the style, probably), do:
if ($OptionalUserName && $OptionalPassword) {
mgd_auth_midgard($OptionalUserName, $OptionalPassword, 0);
$midgard = mgd_get_midgard();
}
This will set $midgard->user to the appropriate ID, if any, and if auth
succeeded
the rest of the page will run as were the user authenticated as with a
normal
auth-required page.
Note that I would not advocate using cookies for sensitive stuff.
