RADIUS-Plugin

Hi there,

I wrote a Radius-Plugin for our DAViCal-deployment. Is there any
interest, that I somehow contribute it to the project?
It makes use of php5-radius. Before I contribute it, i think some things
have to be cleaned up: eg. correct use of configuration-Variables.
There was one problem I had to work around: We want both authentication
against the Postgresql-Database and Authentication against Radius to be
possible. That worked out of the box for the webinterface, but for
authentication out of the Calender-Client, the enabling of the
RADIUS-Plugin made it impossible to authenticate with Database-Credentials.
So I added some code i found in HTTPAuthSession.php to the plugin, so
that if RADIUS-Authentication fails, the User is checked against the
database additionally. I dont think this is very clean, maybe someone
can state some better way to do it.
I am eager to contribute a clean plugin :)

Best regards

Jan

Hi Jan,

I'm happy to take a look at your plugin and comment/ask questions about
the code. I don't have a radius server to test against, but I can at
least sanity check things.

Cheers,
Andrew.
