Hi Casper,
Have you checked out Overriding / Extending activeCollab Authentication knowledge base entry? In code examples you have a peace that create a new user in activeCollab database. It works - tested.

I completely missed that part :) Guess I need glasses. Looks the same as what I've already tried, after looking in UserProfileController.class.php. I created the User object fine, but then tried doing a ->save(), but nothing was written to the db, not even an error. I'll look into it when I get the time.

We added that article just recently.
As a side note: save() method returns true if everything went fine or an Error instance in case of error with all the details - error message, parameters, where it was thrown etc.

I got the error message: "Failed to create an account. Reason: Failed to validate model properties" with my $user_data array for some odd reason - I couldn't figure out why. However, by doing it exactly as you did, it works!
It now automatically creates new users, assigns them to a company and gives them a role. Excellent.

Thanks.

Casper - I was able to use the adLDAP library and get it so i can authenticate off Active Directory using the example, how did you then incorporate that into the authentication for activeCollab? Did you use the method that Ilija mentioned in his documentation?

Has anyone had any success getting this to work against an openLDAP directory ?

Thanks for the explanation, was looking for this to SSO into ActiveCollab.
I just did the following on my Apache web server where authentication is done by the Apache web server and the user name is stored as a server variable "PHP_AUTH_USER". Since this PHP_AUTH_USER is a user name and not an id, I had to add an extra field to the acx_users table: acx_users.username varchar 10, not null and to hack the file Users.class.php to create a function to search for the user by username.
Users.class.php:
/* Hacked by Rob */
/* Extra function for SSO after authentication by Apache
this requires extra field in table acx_users.username varchar 10, not null
/**
* Return user by username
*
* @param string $username
* @return User
*/
function findByUserName($username) {
return Users::find(array(
'conditions' => 'username = ' . db_escape($username),
'one' => true,
));
} // findByUserName
/* End of Hacked by Rob */
For authentication I made the following class, based on the article in the knowledge base:
<?php
class ApacheAuthenticationProvider extends AuthenticationProvider {
function initialize() {
$user = Users::findByUserName($_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER']);
if(instance_of($user, 'User')) {
return $this->logUserIn($user);
} else {
return new Error('User not recognized');
} // if
} // initialize
}
?>
