Re^3: Integrating Perl cgi forms with Drupal site, any advise on unified login issue?

I would be grateful for comments and suggestions.

um, make it a module, a kwalitee module with documentation, that describes what it does , say something along the lines of

# is_user_valid(
# is_user_loggedin(
# is_user_user(
# is_user(
is_authenticated_drupal( dbi => $dbi, cookie => $cookie, );
# can_user_do_this(
# is_user_allowed_to(
is_authenticated_drupal(
  dbi => $dbi,
  cookie => $cookie ,
  page => $page,
  section => $section,
  something_else => $something,
);
[download]

But maybe you want to make it a CGI::Session::Auth plugin so you'd suit the interface to boot

But not having done anything DRUPAL, I'm not even sure this is the best way (raw SQL access) -- I can't imagine that drupal doesn't have an official api independent of backend for authorentication/authorization

Thank you for your answer, maybe one day be a module I probably did not quite understand the last about Drupal API. It's possible to send POST with username and password and receive an answer with user data ... but then I myself have to check my cookie security by my system. They need to generate, store, watch out if they are out of date, etc. It's harder, I think? Perhaps this is the solution for those cases when the systems are in different servers. But then an additional security risk?	[reply]

I don't think you get my meaning. Consider `my $exitcod_zero_means_something = system '/usr/local/bin/drupal_fun_authenticator', '--cookie=cookie', ... ;;;;; ### or sub is_authorized { my ( $authcookie, ... ) = @_; my $wget = join ' ', map { "'$_'" } "--header=cookie:$authcookie", 'https://localhost:3000/hey_drupal_authenticate_by_cookie', ... ;;;;; my $json_auth_str = qx{wget $wget } my $auth = decode_json( $json_auth_str ); return 1 if $auth->{is_authorized}; return 0; }` [download] drupal, being so popular and what not, surely has such an interface -- I'd go looking for it -- official API is safer than peeking into the database	[reply] [d/l]

Thank you. Yes, it is a interesting, and, I think, right way. But I do not find such modules in Drupal yet.	[reply]

@dimuse_dioplut Thank you for making the code available to the public in perlmonks- it is proving to be useful for me. Have you created a module yet out of the code you posted?	[reply]

Welcome "Have you created a module yet out of the code you posted?" No. It seems it will be not soon. Sorry.	[reply]
