Authentication

HumHub is using http://www.yiiframework.com/doc-2.0/ext-authclient-index.html to provide an interface to pluggable authentication providers.

Implementing own AuthClients​

Please see https://github.com/yiisoft/yii2-authclient/blob/master/docs/guide/README.md for more details.

HumHub Specific Extensions​

Optionally your custom client can implement following interfaces to provide additional HumHub features.

ApprovalBypass​

Use interface (humhub\modules\user\authclient\interfaces\ApprovalBypass) to skip user approval for new users.

AutoSyncUsers​

The interface (humhub\modules\user\authclient\interfaces\AutoSyncUsers) the HumHub cronjob will execute the AuthClients syncUsers method hourly to create, update or delete existing users.

SyncAttributes​

By using the interface (humhub\modules\user\authclient\interfaces\SyncAttributes) interface - you can define user attribute (e.g. profile fields) to be automatically updated by the AuthClient and cannot be changed by the user.

PrimaryClient​

A user can only belongs to one (humhub\modules\user\authclient\interfaces\PrimaryClient) AuthClient.

Example for PrimaryClients:

  • Standard Password Authentication
  • LDAP
