RE: [PEAR] Re: AUTH & LiveUser

Well, LiveUser works on a plugin approach, so you can add your own backends for permission and authentication. You can use several backends for auth and perm. Markus has a medium permission management driver almost ready AFAIK. There is also the need of writing a simple permission management backend (which looks more suited to your needs), but i don't think any work has been done on it so far. The great thing would be that you write (or help to write :)) such a backend so it could be introduced into the package. I plan on using it, sometimes in the end of november, at that time i should be able to devote some time to it. Markus, Lukas, any thoughts ? Arnaud. > I'm in the same situation as you are.
