+1 for this to be in 0.8.x I'm just not familiar with how the plugins should be used.
If a auth returned false instead of a user you could goto the next auth method and try that untill either you have no valid user object or false (failed auth) The basic auth plugin would need to be in config.php or some how handeled by default. Dont know how usefull an onEnd would be? -Eric Helgeson 2009/6/11 jim sloan <[email protected]> > A couple of weeks ago I posted a "hack" to enable Active Directory (LDAP) > authentication by adding code to the common_check_user() function, and that > works, but I don't think that it is the best way to approach alternate > authentication methods.
