LoginHandler

Summary

Sets the various methods eZ Publish will try to authenticate user logins.

Usage

 
LoginHandler[]= handler1 

LoginHandler[]= handler2 
...

Description

eZ Publish will try to authenticate users using the login handlers in the order they are specified. eZ Publish provides the following login handlers:

standard - The default login handler for eZ Publish. Users are authenticated using the user objects found in eZ Publish itself.
LDAP - The LDAP login handler. Users are authenticated through an LDAP server. Settings related to the LDAP login handler can be found in ldap.ini.
textfile - The textfile login handler allows users to be specified in a textfile similar to the passwd file on *NIX systems. Settings related to the textfile login handler can be found in textfile.ini.

Common for the login handlers different from the standard login handler is that eZ Publish automatically creates these users in eZ Publish itself. These users can then log in using the standard log in handler. Users created this way are updated automatically using cronjobs.

Examples

LoginHandler[]=standard
LoginHandler[]=LDAP

This configuration will try to log in users using the standard handler. If the standard handler fails, eZ Publish will try to authenticate the user via LDAP. If that also fails, the login is unsuccessful.
