[imp] Auth::authenticate() login problems

[Chris Miller]

Hi Jan,

I was trying to initiate a registry object with /lib/core.php. this is
defined at the top of my php file, so no other horde or my own php related
calls first.

define('HORDE_BASE', '/my/path/to/horde');
require_once HORDE_BASE . '/lib/core.php';
$registry = &Registry::singleton();
$auth = &Auth::singleton($conf['auth']['driver']);
$authenticated = $auth->authenticate('username', array('password' =>
'realpassword'));

At the $auth->authenticate() call I generate the error

"A fatal error has occurred
imp does not provide an authenticate() method.
Details have been logged for the administrator."

The log shows

DATETIME HORDE [emergency] [] imp does not provide an authenticate() meth
od. [on line 105 of "/my/path/to/horde/lib/Horde/Auth/application.php"]

I queried the $auth object for its runtime type and it was
Auth_application

Additionally I checked the variable contained in $conf['auth']['driver']
which was "application".

At this point I did some looking around in the source, but drew a blank.

My IMP is configured to authenticate against an imap server, and the login
screens to normal horde sessions are working.

I of course need to solve my login problems before really delving into using
parts of horde with registry calls etc.

Regards

Chris

Can you provide a complete code example?

Jan.
