[dev] transparent authentication by $_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER']

[Ralph Brugger]

Hi,

a few words to my setup:
- Apache 2.0.54
- PPH 4.3.10 *as Module*
- Horde is protected by an Apache AuthUserFile
- Horde authentication is set to "SQL authentication"

The last days I've read through the horde/lib/Horde/Auth PHP Files to
learn a bit more about the different authentication types.
I've changed the authentication type from "IMP" to "SQL" so I can use
the User, Group and right settings.

The Auth_http class provides an "function transparent"
    /**
     * Automatic authentication: Find out if the client has HTTP
     * authentication info present.
     */

Question:

Is there a way to mix transparent login within the Auth_sql Class?

I've tried to change the Auth_sql / sql.php:
1. Change:
	var $capabilities = array(..., 'transparent'   => true);

2. Change: paste the "function transparent" at the end of the Auth_sql
Class.

The transparent Login using the PHO variables
	$_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER']
	$_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_PW']
is working for the Horde login.

But there are 2 problems left
1) I have to press F5 after the login to see the complete Horde Menu
2) The imp login does not use the transparent login. I must reenter
Username and Password to get signed ob against IMP.

Any help would be nice :)

Regards,

Ralph
