There are a few of authentication plugins that you can look at as
examples to base your own code on.
It may be that in your case you only want to perform authentication,
with the user data still sourced from the DAViCal database. In that
case you are probably best to take a look at the auth-functions.php code
from here:
http://repo.or.cz/w/davical.git/blob/HEAD:/inc/auth-functions.php
The normal approach is to include your code that does what the last
function in that file does (use any function name you want), but *don't*
make the UpdateUserFromExternal() call after the authentication
completes.
Instead, you will probably want to read the user record from the DAViCal
database, with a call like:
$usr = getUserByName( $username );
and then you'll be maintaining non-username information through the
normal DAViCal admin user interface - and to create them there too.
