Yes. You can use an existing DB. I've tried it, but not too much...you just need to set your queries to the table where you have your usernames and password...thats all you need, other data is created automatically by de server.
The problem I found, which made it unsuitable for me, is that it looks for usernames in the way "user = '[EMAIL PROTECTED]'" and I think I'd be better looking for "user = 'user' AND domain = 'foo.com'". This way, I can use the domain as identifier of the user's company....or may be better, just making a join at the select and look for the domain in other table (companies table may be). Anyway, now I'm trying LDAP authentication. And it doesn't work the way I need too. :'( Hernux ----- Original Message ----- From: "Sonic98" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Sunday, July 20, 2003 12:16 PM Subject: [JDEV] Re: xdb_sql > Anyway to get this to work with a current database?
