[pmwiki-users] Integrating password systems

[Andrius Kulikauskas]

Hi,

I'm setting up PmWiki in conjunction with a Drupal content management 
system.

I think I understand the basics of how to set up passwords on PmWiki so 
that users can have different access (read and/or write for various 
sections) depending on their passwords.

What I would like is for the users who need the password-protected 
access to first log in to the Drupal content management system.  Then, 
based on their user role in Drupal, I would like them to have the right 
privileges (afforded by the relevant password) at PmWiki.  It should be 
seemless so that they never release that the passwords exist and are 
being checked for them behind the scenes.

How do I go about that?
The Drupal and the PmWiki are sitting on the same server.

In other words, the first time that they click from Drupal into PmWiki, 
how could the user role (given by Drupal) pass on the right password for 
direct access into PmWiki?

I found the AuthUser functionality
http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/Cookbook/AuthUser
and that I can use it for groups.
I see that Isidor has done something much like what I want.
I think with regard to an LDAP server - I think my situation is perhaps 
simpler.
But I still don't understand!

Any thoughts?

Thank you!

Andrius
