I actually gave up on GUF because I _couldn't_ get it to let me in in the first place to set up my db methods. The password that is supposed to be built in didn't work at all, neither did the supervisor one.
I posted a work around for that on this mailing list a couple of days ago. And yes whilst it is frustrating it is no where near as hard as writing an authentication product from scratch (which from experience is difficult).
Heh. I certainly wouldn't want to do it from scratch myself... I just tracked down your work around again and now remember why it didn't help me. I actually have a UserDb in my root directory and that's what I'm trying to get rid of (Since I'm moving to Oracle anyway I thought I'd change to a supported product since UserDb has been giving me a few obscure problems at times.) So since it doesn't support the admin user either your suggestion doesn't help. I will, however, try making a normal user folder in a subdirectory and then try to set GUF up in a subdirectory of that...
Anyway, the LoginManager looks very clean. It already doesn't have a lot of the old problems and I like the abstraction. Now I just have to finish getting DCOracle working (annoying truncated .so files...). Sorry I think that the GUF is also very clean and quite easy to work with.
Grin. Seeing I never managed to get into GUF's management interface in the first place I can't really comment on how clean it is.
I think GUF is great as it is. Thanks a lot to Zen for contributing it.
Definitely.
