A3M - Account Authentication & Authorization Module

[eluser]Naatan[/eluser]
In case anyones interested in getting A3M working with Vanilla forums 2.0 (ie. use A3M as the authentication / registration mechanism), create a controller with the following contents:

Code:

<?php

class userAuth extends Controller {

    private $userID;

    /**
     * Constructor
     * @author Nathan Rijksen
     */
    function userAuth() {
        parent::Controller();

        $this->load->library(array('account/authentication', 'account/account', 'account/facebook_platform','form_validation','wowish'));

        $this->userID = $this->session->userdata('account_id');
    }

    function index() {
        if (!$this->authentication->is_signed_in()) exit;
        $account = $this->account->get_by_id($this->userID);

        $account_email     = $this->db->get_where('a3m_account_email', array('account_id'=>$this->userID))->row();
        $email             = $this->db->get_where('a3m_email', array('id'=>$account_email->email_id))->row();

        $userFields = array(
            'UniqueID'        => $account->id,
            'Name'            => $account->username,
            'Email'            => $email->email,
        );

        foreach ($userFields AS $field=>$value)
            echo $field.'='.$value."\n";
    }

    function signout() {
        $this->session->unset_userdata('account_id');
        setcookie('Vanilla',' ',time()-3600,'/');
        unset($_COOKIE['Vanilla']);
        redirect(base_url());
    }

}

?>

Replace the contents of the redirect with whatever you want it to redirect to upon logging out.

Also, go into modules/account/libraries/Authentication.php and add the following to the sign_out function:

Code:

setcookie('Vanilla',' ',time()-3600,'/');
        unset($_COOKIE['Vanilla']);

Make sure that the following CI settings are set to false:

sess_match_ip
sess_match_useragent

Finally, install the Single Sign On addon for Vanilla Forums 2.0 and change the settings to:

Code:

# Authenticate Url
# http://domain.com/userAuth

# Registration Url
# http://domain.com/account/sign_up

# Sign-in Url
# http://domain.com/account/sign_in

# Sign-out Url
# http://domain.com/userAuth/signout

That's it.. sign in with A3M and navigate to your forums.. if all went well you should be automatically logged in.

(Note - make sure the admin user you create in vanilla does not conflict with an a3m user)
