[Phpmyadmin-devel] new auth

Hi,

Looking at the stats for 2.2.1, there were 17300 downloads of a .php version and 3300 for a .php3 version. I presume that it means PHP4 is well deployed.

I think we could *add* another auth mecanism for PHP4 servers: session-based. I use it in all my other LAMP-based projects (did not try it with WAMP) and my users have no problems.

Instead of $cfgServers[1]['adv_auth']

we could have $cfgServers[1]['auth']

with the possible choices:

'config': the username/password are in the config file (old advanced=false)

'http' http authentication (old advanced=true) (still use stduser?)

'session' session-based, customized login panel, session id propagated by URL (still use stduser?)
