There are three ways to override authentication in bitweaver:
- The easiest method is to define a function using the gOverrideLoginFunction global variable in your kernel/config_inc.php named bit_login_override. It should
<?php
global $gOverrideLoginFunction;
$gLightWeightScan = TRUE;
$gOverrideLoginFunction = 'bit_login_override';
function bit_login_override() {
// determine bitweaverUserId from some foreign database
return $biweaverUserId;
}
?>
- The second option is to create a custom authentication plugin
- The third and most powerful is to overide the BitPermUser class with a custom class and do your work. This will mean your gBitUser is an object of a class by your own making. See Custom Authentication Tutorial.
