[Typo3-dev] How to authenticate BE users?

[Ingo Renner]

Hi all,

I still haven't solved my problem with BE user authentication. After
reading a lot of documentation and source code I have a question: Would
make sense to build a service which authenticates BE users by username and
password?

So this service could be used in other extensions.

I haven't started with the service yet but I had another approach/idea how
to authenticate a BE user:

-----
$auth = t3lib_div::makeInstance('t3lib_beUserAuth');
$auth->formfield_status = 'login';
$auth->formfield_uname  = $username;
$auth->formfield_uident = md5($password);
$auth->security_level   = 'normal';
-----

Now which method do I have to call to know whether the login is ok or not?


Any help with that is very appreciated as it is one of the last major
things keeping me from releasing the EXT:timtab!

thanks in advance
Ingo
