Readme ------ This user.module update will eventually be integrated into the main Drupal distribution. It's primary enhancement over prior user.modules is its support for easy authentication module plugins. The authentication modules specify rules for logging into this Drupal instance with a username and password from an external registration database. The outline of all enhancements in this module are at http://mail.zind.net/pipermail/drupal-devel/2001-October/001978.html Please do send comments and bug reports to weitzman@tejasa.com. Requirements ------------ This module requires the latest version of the current Drupal CVS version. It also requires that you run the accompanying user.mysql database update. Installation ------------ 1. Copy the .module file to the Drupal modules directory. If things go badly, just revert back to the prior version of user.module 2. Copy into the /modules directory those authentication modules which you wish to support. The Delphi and Drupal modules are currently working well. The Jabber module is broken, and I could use some help with debugging it. If you add jabber.module to your directory you will break distributed authentication, so please beware.
