Edward Eliot	Thursday 02 September 2004 6:41:28 am 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?
Tony Wood	Thursday 02 September 2004 7:25:06 am 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.

Paul Borgermans	Thursday 02 September 2004 9:14:35 am 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) -paul eZ Publish, eZ Find, Solr expert consulting and training http://twitter.com/paulborgermans
