Login Handler

I have been reading the eZpublish book which talks about custom login handlers. It mentions that the user needs to exist in eZpublish. Is there a way to remove this depedancy or have the user created automatically if they don't already exist. Also what is the implication on permissions when using an external authentication source. Can permissions be set externally?

Hi,

You could right a script to interrogate the LDAP server and then create the user based on the information in the LDAP server.
You could then assign it role rights based on an LDAP setting.

Someone may have already written this.

Hi

The ldap handler will create non-existing users, the same is true with the texthandler. I've used both (the texthandler can be used to transfer users easily from another system, sometimes with passwords)

Thanks Paul,

Can one assign permissions the users will be created with?
