PHP AUTH login

  I recommend writing a plugin.
  
  1. Create a Gdn_Dispatcher_BeforeDispatch_Handler($Sender) function.
  2. Check make sure a user isn't already signed in:

  if (Gdn::Session()->UserID > 0) return; 

  2. Check $_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER']
  3. Look up that user in the user table:

  Gdn::UserModel()->GetByUsername(...)

  4. If the user doesn't exist then insert the user:

  $UserID = Gdn::UserModel()->InsertForBasic(
     $User, 
     FALSE, 
     array('ValidateEmail' => FALSE, 'NoConfirmEmail' => TRUE));

  5. Start the session as the user:

  Gdn::Session()->Start($UserID, TRUE)

  I did that, but the Gdn::Session()->Start($UserID, TRUE); returns null and don't do nothing
  Thanks for helping

  <?php
  // Define the plugin:
  $PluginInfo['HTTPAuth'] = array(
     'Description' => 'HTTP / HTACCESS auto login',
     'Version' => '1.0',
     'Author' => "Maxime",
     'AuthorEmail' => '***@gmail.com',
     'AuthorUrl' => ''
  );
  
  class AuthentificationHttpPlugin extends Gdn_Plugin
  {
          public function Gdn_Dispatcher_BeforeDispatch_Handler($Sender)
          {
                  //We check that the user isn't already logged
                  if (Gdn::Session()->UserID > 0) return; 
  
                  //We check the htaccess login
                  $httpusername = (string) $_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER'];
                  echo('http username = ' . $httpusername);
  
                  //We check if the user exists
                  if(!Gdn::UserModel()->GetByUsername($httpusername))
                  {
                          echo "<p> User doesnt exists </p>";
                          //If not, we create it
                          $UserID = Gdn::UserModel()->InsertForBasic(
                                  $username,
                                  FALSE,
                                  array('ValidateEmail' => FALSE, 'NoConfirmEmail' => TRUE));
                  }
                  else
                  {
                          echo "<p> User exists </p>";
                          $UserID = $httpusername;
                  }
  
                  var_dump(Gdn::Session()->Start($UserID, TRUE)); //Returns NULL
          }
  }
  ?>

  Nobody have an idea of why the Gdn::Session()->Start() doesn't works ? I did search in existing plugins about a redirection to do after the Session->Start(), but I didn't find anything working

  Gdn::Session()->Start() doesn't return anything, but sets the cookie. Try dumping Gdn::Session()->User after that.

  Thanks so much for reply !

  Gdn::Session()->Start($UserID, true);
  var_dump(Gdn::Session()->User);

  returns a bool(false)
