[Phpgroupware-developers] SyncML server - need help

[Guillaume Courtois]

Hello all,

I'm having some time these days to begin the development of the syncml server 
for phpgroupware (finally !)

That's good news, the bad one is that I'm going on holidays for two weeks 
tomorrow :-) But I will work on it again when I'm back.

During this development, one thing is sure : I will need your help, since I 
don't know the internals of phpGW (specially the API) well enough ...

So, let's go with my first question : the first phase of a SyncML session is 
authentification (yes, I'm only there :), consisting of the client sending a 
login and a password. I think that the best thing to do is to use the existing 
phpGW accounts, and the existing functions used to authenticate into phpGW.

Since there are multiple ways (system, SQL, LDAP, etc ...) of authentication, 
are there transparent functions including all these which I could use to 
authenticate the SyncML session ?

Thanks in advance for your help !

Bye.
