Re^4: Integrating Perl cgi forms with Drupal site, any advise on unified login issue?

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They need to generate, store, watch out if they are out of date, etc.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?

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]
