What's a good example of a module that uses authmap that I can look at for reference?<br><br>// Jeff Beeman<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 9/7/06, <b class="gmail_sendername">Moshe Weitzman</b> <<a href="mailto:weitzman@tejasa.com">

<br>yes, it is a mapping between the drupal userid and an external userid. the<br>decision of what table and what column in the external system is entirely up<br>to the module which 'owns' the authmap record. see the 'module' column of
<br>authmap table. that module has logic either hard coded or in settings about<br>connection details to foreign system. hope that makes sense.<br></blockquote></div><br>
