I'm sure TE will like the challenge of writing a WP importer (not bridge) if Pete doesn't do it first ;)
Wordpress?  :whistle: ....

started to play with my first plugin (authentication module), but I'm confused 'cause I get these errors:
Quote
One or more features required by this plugin are not available. (verify_user, register)
the xml part in plugin-info.xml is this:
Code: [Select]
<hooks>
<function point="verify_user" function="integrate_verify_user" filename="$plugindir/authenticate" />
<function point="reset_pass" function="integrate_reset_password" filename="$plugindir/authenticate" />
<function point="verify_password" function="integrate_verify_password" filename="$plugindir/authenticate" />
<function point="register" function="integrate_register" filename="$plugindir/authenticate" />
<function point="validate_login" function="integrate_validate_login" filename="$plugindir/authenticate" />
</hooks>

Is there something wrong with my hook definition? Maybe a bug within the plugin manager?

The former is one place where I can see the logic, though surely all that's needed in that case is to turn over authentication over to the separate backend and if authenticated through that method, silently turn on 'disable admin security' (but only for the life of that page)?
yep, that's a perfect solution regarding admin security but there would still be an issue with the profile account data (can't be updated because I don't know my password). Maybe I can set that field as a hidden form field with a pre-filled password or something similar.. I currently have no clue to work around that issue with a proper solution..  Any ideas?

I suspect that no one in their right mind would use Facebook to register/log into a forum they're administrating...
why not? We have implemented a smartcard authentication in our company, thus my account has been validated during Windows logon to our Active Directory. All following systems (e.g. a webserver) are using a passthrough authentication via kerberos ticket / ntlm.

The backend webservers know me from my kerberos ticket ($_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER'] is defined) but I don't have a password, therefore $_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_PW'] isn't set. Sure, I can generate some kind of random password but that's against the idea of SSO (SingleSignOn).

Ah, LDAP... I've never understood what this is about ;)
An LDAP-Directory isn't  a miracle, just a "database" with user /account information designed for central authentication.

Yeah... Makes sense. But considering the user won't have to choose a password (because all of this will be handled by OpenID or Facebook...), there are a few things that will still need to be added or removed... e.g. the password reminder won't work.
That's indeed a very important point. there is the password reminder, the admin-center password verification and the profile page (account settings: password verification while changing important account data & password change in general)

I have some plans for a universal bridge  (webserver authentication, LDAP, external databases), thus I'd need a proper solution for these things...

yep, seems interesting but the licence is restrictive.

Lol... Yes, you do care about this bug ;)
Yes, I do.. GMX has taken over the domain mail.com last year, thus not only germans will be affected..

Related to OpenID, there is still a "bug" in QueryString.php (problems with some german webmail providers)

http://dev.simplemachines.org/mantis/view.php?id=2669#c12080
the bug was re-introduced in SMF 2.0 RC5. Now, with OpenID  dropped from the code, we could fix it..

Just another small bug report (ipv6 related):
install.sql
Code: [Select]
poster_ip int(10) NOT NULL default '0',
needs to be changed to
Code: [Select]
poster_ip varchar(32) NOT NULL default '',

OpenID with its current implementation is IMHO completely useless, simply because it's a OpenID 1.1. Most OpenID-Providers such as Google / Yahoo don't accept 1.1 but use 2.0 instead.

Just drop it, no one will miss it  ;)
