Re: [limesurvey-developers] Limesurvey 2.0 - Authentication System

[Karolina Maneva-J. <jak...@ma...>]

Hi,

Daniel I am familiar with the article. I used that as a starting point
when I implemented the
ldap plugin for the LS2 last year. And yes you are right adding a new
datasource is not a problem.
I will get the latest version of limesurvey-dev and start from there.

Thibault I used "LS2 authentication & Permission Development" as a
reference when working on the
security groups. That same document (although it might need some fine
tuning) can be used as primary specs
for the authentication and the authorization process that happens at login.
