Custom authentication

There are two quick steps (that require PHP knowledge) to set up thirdparty authentication:

Define the authentication plugin inside the file "/path-to-WebFileShare/customizables/config.php", at line 5. Here's an example for the LDAP authentication:

$config['system']['custom_auth_file'] = "auth/ldap.auth.php";

Use one of the provided authentication plugin files to setup your own:

MySQL: "/path-to-WebFileShare/customizables/auth/mysql.auth.php"

Joomla: "/path-to-WebFileShare/customizables/auth/joomla.auth.php"

Omnisecure: "/path-to-WebFileShare/customizables/auth/omnisecure.auth.php"
WordPress: "/path-to-WebFileShare/customizables/auth/wordpress.php"
LDAP: "/path-to-WebFileShare/customizables/auth/ldap.auth.php"

Before enabling the external authentication, it is recommended to change the Web File Share superuser account's username (default username "admin") to one that matches a username in your external system. This way, when you login to Web File Share with the external credentials you will have superuser privileges.
