The desired addition is to add at least a basic level of authentication capability to Chameleon. The specific requirement is to support sqlite databases for authentication, but the architecture needs to support multiple methods of authentication. Chameleon core class will be modified to include a new member variable, moAuthenticator. This variable is null by default and this indicates no authentication is performed. To have Chameleon perform default (built in) authentication, this member variable is assigned an object which implements two methods: isAuthenticated(): returns true or false if the current connection is authenticated authenticate($user,$password): authenticates a user A basic authentication class is provided in Authenticator.php. This takes a pointer to an abstract database class constructed from one of the adb-supported databases ... currently only sqlite. Notes on adb further on ... The Authenticator is somewhat flexible and can be connected to any backend adb database with configurable table and fields. It runs an SQL query against the database for the current user and md5() of the password looking for a match. To implement custom authentication, you can override the CWCAuthenticate() method in your Chameleon application class. This method is responsible for providing authentication and can be set up to do anything you wish. The default implementation looks for an Authenticator object and uses it if found. CWCAuthenticate is called as the first step of CWCExecute. A new module, adb, will be added to php_utils to provide a light-weight database wrapper with minimal functionality. It is similar to ADODB, lighter weight but far less capable. It would be possible to hook up an ADODB authenticator.
done, forgot to mark fixed
