AuthDb

From WebCalendar Wiki

Jump to: navigation, search

Suppose you already have a database of users and passwords from one or more other applications. If you don't mind getting your fingers in a little PHP code, WebCalendar can use the external database to authenticate users. Just use the following steps:

  • Install WebCalendar using its default web-based user auth
  • Copy includes/user.php to includes/user-local.php.
  • Modify includes/user-local.php to use your db tables for authentication. You can also set $admin_can_add_user to false if you don't want users to be added from WebCalendar. You will mostly be changing references to the webcal_user table to use your own table instead. If you needs some examples take a look at the various other user-*.php files in the includes directory.
  • Modify includes/settings.php: Change user_inc from "user.php" to "user-local.php"
