[Typo3-dev] creating BE users with code (eg LDAP sync, etc)

Hi Martin

> How shall new users be created? Especially how can they be configured?

Good question I asked myself too. We've now 2 freely available services that 
creates user on the fly. Additionally I'm currently developing a SOAP 
solution to transfer accounts from one t3 site to another.

Good idea. I'll think about it and integrate it in my current solution.

Maybe it will go into 3.8. But another idea is to provide a hook that make it 
possible to install sv-auth cleanly. So it is a "core option".

Anyway. Later I will upload a new version with some bugfixes. This version 
will not provide such API but for the next release that should be included.

BTW: The new cc_svauth extension had to change it's API slightly
!! change $this->info into $this->authInfo in your auth services !!
Any services on TER will be updated too.
