Shared Login System
Filed Under: Exclaim Web Infrastructure
The Shared Login System is based around the forum, and allows users to have a single login for all the Exclaim sites. Explanation on how this is set up is below.
Accounts are created at the Forum, and all profile changes are done there.
Forum to Wiki
DokuWiki has a PunBB authentication backend which we use to authenticate against the forum. To avoid user confusion, the login template was adjusted to mention the use of Forum accounts, and the Register/Edit Profile functions have been disabled.
The Wiki Editor is set to the Moderators group and the Wiki Admin is set to the Administrators group. Groups are inherited from PunBB, which makes this all very easy.
See the DokuWiki documentation for instructions on how to set up this
Forum to Bugtracker
Flyspray currently does not support pluggable authentication backends, (though this is apparently a task for Flyspray 1.0). Therefore we have postponed the unified login with this for now.
Status can be tracked on bug FS#3.
