Hi guys,
We've been graciously offered free hosting for our main website by
unixheads.org. They seem to know their stuff and feel more than
comfortable with meeting our requirements (even during a Slashdotting)
so we're going to be looking to take them up on their offer.
There is however a small issue we're going to need to workaround
before that can happen and that's Trac's integration with Drupal's
login system. As the two applications will be running on different
servers across the internet, we're not going to be able to have Trac
connect to Drupal's MySQL database to perform authentication as is the
case now.
I'm looking for suggestions as to alternatives. When the integration
broke a number of weeks ago we considered dropping it altogether. This
was unpopular with the few people who replied, so I think we should
consider that route our last possible option.
Niels mentioned OpenID a while back, and there are modules available
for both Drupal and Trac that allow OpenID as an authentication
provider. But for this to be useful we would also need to setup our
own OpenID identity provider to cater for those who don't yet have an
OpenID. I don't know how much work this would be, but my gut instinct
is far more than it's worth, but I'd like to hear what everyone else
thinks about this.
