| 1 | Administrator Plugin |
| 2 | -------------------- |
| 3 | |
| 4 | In order to use this plugin, you must first activate it using |
| 5 | conf.pl and then you must change the config/config.php files |
| 6 | permissions to 660. This file must be owned by the user who you |
| 7 | want to have access to this plugin (only one user allowed) and |
| 8 | the group must be the group of the user who is running php. This |
| 9 | authentication method requires posix support in php and doesn't |
| 10 | work, if user's id equals to 0. |
| 11 | |
| 12 | An alternative method, but less secure, is to add a file called |
| 13 | admins into the plugin folder with the names of the users that |
| 14 | you want to allow the use of the plugin. |
| 15 | |
| 16 | Use this plugin at your own risk, and always remember to make a |
| 17 | backup of your config.php file before use. |
| 18 | |
| 19 | Order of authentication checks |
| 20 | ------------------------------ |
| 21 | When plugin checks if user can use it, it first checks |
| 22 | plugins/administrator/admins file. If file does not exist, plugin |
| 23 | checks config/admins. If plugin can't find admins file, it tries to |
| 24 | use uid based authentication. |
