Creating a Login module

Any module valid for XMLNuke may be a Login module as long as the following conditions are met:

• The module must not require authentication
• At the end it should call Context.MakeLogin()
• The name of this module should be configured under the option: xmlnuke.LOGINMODULE so that XMLNuke understands that it will perform the login.

Example

XMLNuke implements a class called LoginBase. This class has several routines for sending emails for events such as forgetting a password, generating a new password, among others. To create your Login module, your class should inherit from the LoginBase and should perform the login mechanism (ask for a username, password, etc.). After the ENTIRE validation process is complete, the lines below should be run in the final step to inform XMLNuke that the user LOGGED IN to the system.

// usernamevalid => USERNAME
// userid => User Code

this._context.MakeLogin(usernamevalid, userid);
string Url = FormsAuthentication.GetRedirectUrl(usernamevalid, false);
this._context.redirectUrl( Url );

// $usernamevalid => USERNAME
// $id => User Code

$urlReturn = $this->_context->ContextValue("ReturnUrl");

$this->_context->MakeLogin($usernamevalid, $id);
$url = XmlnukeManageUrl::decodeParam($urlReturn);
$this->_context->redirectUrl($url);
