we can NOT clean the whole egw_info/server array, as this also cleans the variables set in the header, which get not re-read
--> we need to keep the important values: sessions_type and default_domain"
- new cleaner AND documented interfaces
- old interfaces are still availible, but depricated
- LDAP backend stores now membership information in LDAP too, and does NO longer require the phpgwAccount schema
- LDAP backend deals now well with LDAP schema in which posixGroup is no structural object (eg. newer SuSE distros)
- password from users are done now binded as that user, so if you dont need/use our admin to manage accounts, you can give a root-dn which only allows to search&read accounts
- phpgw_accounts --> egw_accounts
- phpgw_acl --> egw_acl
- phpgw_log(_msg) --> egw_log(_msg)
- phpgw_config --> egw_config
- phpgw_applications --> egw_applications
This requires code-changes in many apps. Quite often I was able to replace the db access, with calls to the appropreate classes.
Please note: If you already edited your phpgwapi/inc/functions.inc.php to switch it off, you will get an cvs conflict on updating, just do a "cvs update -C phpgwapi/inc/functions.inc.php" to fix it. If you want to use the session restore or you already used it, you need to go to Setup >> Headeradmin and switch it on there.
At the moment you need to log out to activate any changes in the config, preferences or the apps enabled for a user. This can be changed easily by invalidating the cache.
2) New way to create an anoymous session: you can specify a callback function, which gets called if the session could not be verified. The callback can use the DB or instanciate a config object to get the account-date, which it returns. A new session get then created.
- only needs host- and domain-name
- needs NO extra account on the ADS host
- can be used with accounts in SQL or LDAP to auto-create autheticated users
- new param to lowercase the user-names before auto-creating them (to deal with case-insensitve and case-sensitive system)
- Oracle via oci8 or odbc extension
- MsSql via odbc extension
2) added checks for the neccesary extension incl. loading them if they are not loaded by default: db extensions and session extension. This is now consitent wiht check_install.
3) sessions class tries now to load the php session extension and silently fallbacks to db-sessions
- [ 1015846 ] Registering session MySQL query error
- handlich of timed out sessions for php4 sessions was wrong
==> I can't reproduce any more sessions probs, either with db nor php4 sessions
- it was introduced by changes lars merged from dave (phpGW) ;-)
- of cause php4 sessions work in eGW without sending cookies, if this is disabled in admin->site configuration
