 ====== Building an Authentication Handler ======

-VuFind contains a class-based mechanism for authenticating users.
-===== Architecture =====
-All of VuFind's authentication code can be found in the [[https://vufind.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/vufind/trunk/web/sys/authn/|web/sys/authn]] directory.
-All authentication handlers implement the Authentication interface found in [[https://vufind.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/vufind/trunk/web/sys/authn/Authentication.php|web/sys/authn/Interface.php]].
-Authentication handlers are instantiated by the AuthenticationFactory class found in [[https://vufind.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/vufind/trunk/web/sys/authn/AuthenticationFactory.php|web/sys/authn/AuthenticationFactory.php]].
-===== Building an Authentication Handler =====
-  * Create a new module in web/sys/authn for your new authentication method.
-  * Write a class in this new file that implements the Authentication interface.
-  * Modify the AuthenticationFactory class so that it knows how to construct your new class.  //Starting with VuFind 1.1, this will be unnecessary as long as you name your class according to this pattern: [config.ini value]Authentication; i.e. MyNewAuthentication will load automatically if you use "MyNew" as the value in config.ini.//
-===== Notes =====
-  * As of this writing, the web/sys/authn directory contains some utility code (configuration parsers, exception classes) that should probably be moved to a more generic location in the future.  If you add new support classes, please consider putting them somewhere more appropriate.
