My Drupal and PmWiki are on the same server. They are both built on
PHP. I imagine that from PmWiki I can call the $user array and get the
user ID $user->uid, then I can query the Drupal MySQL database and get
the user role, and then I can return the password that corresponds to
that user role. That doesn't sound too complicated. Where then (in
authuser.php ?) should I do the checking ? Thank you for helping me!
