David, You should be able to handle the login part of this by constructing a form (outside of the VCL application) like this:
<form method=“POST” action=“https://vcl.myinstitution.edu/index.php”> <input type=“text” name=“userid”> <input type=“password” name=“password”> <input type=“hidden” name=“mode” value=“submitLogin”> <input type=“submit” name=“submit” value=“Login”> </form> You can take a look at how NCSU handles this at: https://vcl.ncsu.edu For block allocations, any user can request a block reservation, but an admin typically needs to approve it before it can go into effect. You can manage who is able to approve block reservations by going to the “Privileges” menu, and then selecting “Additional User Permissions”. Select the appropriate user group, and select the corresponding checkboxes. I don’t believe that you can block users from seeing the “block allocation” menu option.

I'm aware that if a user chooses "remember my selection" that next time that user will automatically be presented with the preferred method of authentication. It looks like utils.php is handling this but I just wanted to get some advice as to the best way to handle this while keeping in mind that I, as the admin, will want to log in with the local admin account. My other question is we are thinking of removing the block allocation option from regular end users but it must be present when the local admin logs in(so I can create the allocation once the professors put in a request via our help desk system) what 's the best way to handle that?
