2005-12-09T00:05:39  <xorAxAx> [PERIODIC ANNOUNCEMENT] Logs can be found on http://moinmoin.wikiwikiweb.de/MoinMoinChat/Logs/moin-dev
2005-12-09T00:22:12  <ThomasWaldmann> xorAxAx: grep -i -n3 alias CHANGES
2005-12-09T00:22:47  <xorAxAx> hmm, didnt see that when i tried last time :)
2005-12-09T00:24:04  <xorAxAx> ThomasWaldmann: do you mind if i commit code that i developed for moinmoin which interfaces moin to php but which is not used normally by moin and could not interfer (its an auth plugin)?
2005-12-09T00:25:53  <starshine> I think an example of a differemt, but working, auth plugin, would be a valuable encouragement to users..
2005-12-09T00:26:09  <starshine> so if I were a new user of moin I'd enjoy seeing such a thing in it
2005-12-09T00:27:54  <xorAxAx> starshine: and the best thing is - it works :)
2005-12-09T00:28:09  <ThomasWaldmann> xorAxAx: put some docs in in and commit it to contrin/auth_whatever/
2005-12-09T00:28:18  <starshine> well, yes. non-working plugins won't encourage anyone.
2005-12-09T00:28:33  <xorAxAx> ThomasWaldmann: why contrib?
2005-12-09T00:28:41  <xorAxAx> its written by me
2005-12-09T00:28:47  <xorAxAx> not contributed by third-party
2005-12-09T00:28:59  <xorAxAx> and i actually want to care for it
2005-12-09T00:29:03  <ThomasWaldmann> guess who has written the cookie stuff X)
2005-12-09T00:29:22  <xorAxAx> its example code ...
2005-12-09T00:29:33  <xorAxAx> compared to this module - it works if you switch it on :)
2005-12-09T00:29:47  <ThomasWaldmann> what does it do exactly?
2005-12-09T00:29:49  <xorAxAx> i would not mind if you move your code to example/auth_ ... :-)
2005-12-09T00:29:55  <xorAxAx> oh, long story
2005-12-09T00:30:08  <xorAxAx> it extracts the cookie, looks up the php session, parses it,
2005-12-09T00:30:29  <xorAxAx> then it crawls in that 250 kB blob to find out name, username and email
2005-12-09T00:30:35  <xorAxAx> just works for egroupware currently
2005-12-09T00:30:47  <xorAxAx> but other php apps should be able to be added with a few lines
2005-12-09T00:31:05  <xorAxAx> --> you have SSO in a php env
2005-12-09T00:31:37  <ThomasWaldmann> egroupware is a specific environment
2005-12-09T00:31:57  <ThomasWaldmann> so I think it should go into contrib
2005-12-09T00:32:31  <ThomasWaldmann> it is not as generic as http auth or ldap auth (when implemented configurable)
2005-12-09T00:32:33  <xorAxAx> currently, its called auth_php and should be able to handle all php apps we come accros
2005-12-09T00:32:44  <ThomasWaldmann> all?
2005-12-09T00:32:54  <xorAxAx> yeah, as i said - you just need to add a short function
2005-12-09T00:33:10  <xorAxAx> that just has to extract the data from the session
2005-12-09T00:33:20  <xorAxAx> so it imposes a framework for php integration
2005-12-09T00:34:00  <ThomasWaldmann> ok, add it to MoinMoin/auth.py
2005-12-09T00:34:23  <ThomasWaldmann> this whole stuff is not in its final form anyway
2005-12-09T00:34:41  <ThomasWaldmann> if there is more time, I want to have it as plugin, but not for 1.5.0
2005-12-09T00:35:50  <starshine> xorAxAx: get it workign against phpbb also, that should be suitably distinct from eGroup to be a clear determination that it's general
2005-12-09T00:36:31  <xorAxAx> starshine: yeah
2005-12-09T00:36:36  <starshine> TW: auth in 1.3x and previous is sufficiently messy, even a partial improvement is a very good thing
2005-12-09T00:36:47  <xorAxAx> starshine: but i heard that phpbb doesnt use the normal file marshalling session handler of php
2005-12-09T00:36:56  <xorAxAx> starshine: but directly writes into the db
2005-12-09T00:37:06  <starshine> hrmm
2005-12-09T00:37:27  <starshine> that suggests it might end up following the db-requester model that ffii need for their aktiv thingy
2005-12-09T00:37:57  <starshine> It's been awhile since I looked at phpbb, but I've a small client asking after it.  So very soon I will be knowing this answer.

2005-12-09T13:41:14  <ThomasWaldmann> why, did you fix some IE problems?
