I am a php novice...

i have a web server with lots of existing accounts and we now use ftp accesss.

How would i set up phpwebhosting to use the existing databsase of users to validate access?
Is it customizable to read a pre-exisitng database of users?

thanks

  It is very possible, and not at all hard, IF you know PHP. The authentication classes phpwebhosting (phpGroupWare actually) uses are abstracted, so that the authentication scheme can be changed, and new schemes can be added. The files you're interested in are in phpgwapi/inc/class.auth*. You may choose to modify an existing authentication scheme to meet your specific needs, or create a new one.
  
  If you're using actual FTP to authenticate users, it might be a bit tough, but the authentication system is as flexible as possible; you just have to create the specific authentication functions for your needs.
  
  Hope this helps,
