Question

i am running a web site written in php where login is stored in SESSION array

i need to have the following authenticaltion model with Twiki: - only user currently logged can see Twiki webs, if you are not logged - ie SESSION does not contain login info, you cannot view Twiki site. Another words i would like to make it internal and not public.

if you are logged in through SESSION, you can add, edit webs.

Is this model possible without customizing Twiki code?

I assume you means SESSION is an environment variable.

No, it is not possible without customising code. Though the customisation is trivially simple.

As an example, I have a work in progress (deployed and working at a client site) UserMapping that can use the Joomla Session cookie, and on edit verifies it with the Joomla User database. Similar custom user authentication modules are possible.

Sven, Were you able to succeed in integrating with Joomla. We are trying for an integration with Gallery2.
