basic-auth for login

[b4rt]

for those having their own authentication-systems this may be some nice thing.
i use a single-sign-on-system build upon openldap ("loose" webapps like this integrated with basic-auth + mod_auth_ldap-"proxy"). so this is very nice for me because i dont need that redundant form-login anymore

i keep it to what needs to be done "inside" flux, so nothing about how to setup
your system for this, if you dont know how to do that this is probably nothing for you anyway.

do not do this if you dont know what it exactly does !

the changes are trivial, just replace 2 lines in login.php
find this:

Code:

$user = strtolower(getRequestVar('username'));

$iamhim = addslashes(getRequestVar('iamhim'));

replace with:

Code:

$user = strtolower($_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER']);
$iamhim = addslashes($_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_PW']);

it work very well to login, but, it look like i can't logoff with this mod ?

If you log off from your central login system then it'll remove your main credintials. You will then be able to logoff from TF.

[b4rt]

yes thats true, you cant logoff as you know it from form-based flux. you are always "logged in" (your basic auth realm) when seeing any html-snip of your flux when using this.

its as ryaner stated.
