Shawn Tan's Drupal module. Updated by David Newgas.
Objective
This Drupal module was created to allow any website that uses Drupal, to authenticate via Raven. The module runs fine on both 6.0 and 6.1 versions of Drupal.
Installation
Un-tar the module into your Drupal's "module" directory. It will be placed in a "ucamraven" sub-directory.
Login as the administrator for your Drupal based site.
- Go to /user/1/edit and ensure the admin account is a CRSID.
- Click on admin => modules. Enable the "ucamraven" module.
- Click on admin => menus => navigation. Uncheck the "Log out" item to disable non-raven authentication·
User Login
Any user that clicks on the "raven login" link in the main menu will be redirected to the standard Raven login page. Once the user has authenticated with Raven, the user will be redirected back to the original website.
If no user account exists for that CRSID, one will be created.
Admin Login
The admin account must be a CRSID to log in using the raven system. Administrators with non CRSID account names can by-pass the Raven login by explicitly using the standard Drupal login page "user/login".
