Authentication: use dynamic directory for each user

[Bailey Rud]

Hello,

I currently develop an application with a webdav-server. Each user have their own home directory with their files. My webdav-server (based on SabreDAV) runs with authentication, but i don't know how to use the username of the authentication for the direcory. For example: when the user "test2" logins, the directory in webdav should be "/files/test2/".

Is this possible? When yes, how can i realize that in PHP?

Thank you for your help and sorry for my bad english (i'm from germany),

Currently having the same issue...

This is what I got:

$path = "";

$authBackend = new Sabre\DAV\Auth\Backend\BasicCallBack(function($userName, $password) {

if(login($userName, $password)) {

$path = $dataDir . $userName;

return true;

}

return false;

});

$root = new \Sabre\DAV\FS\Directory($path);

[..]

The problem is, that the "$root"-part gets called BEFORE the "$authBackend"-Part, so I get an error, that the $path can not be empty =/

Is there a "getUser()"-function or a way to get the functions to be called in the "right" order?

Thanks in advance.

Found a possible solution:

use

    Sabre\HTTP\Sapi,

    Sabre\HTTP\Response,

    Sabre\HTTP\Auth;

$request = Sapi::getRequest();

$response = new Response();

$basicAuth = new Auth\Basic("Locked down area", $request, $response);

$basicAuth->requireLogin();

$user = $basicAuth->getCredentials();

$username = $user[0];

$password = $user[1];

Put that at the beginning of your script so you can set the proper path to each user directory.

Hi guys,

That question was asked and answered a few times before:

https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/sabredav-discuss/MjJ0lWdaFvc
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/sabredav-discuss/getCurrentUSer/sabredav-discuss/k9RvApCtG8k/4zuIa8YJJ1MJ

This issue seems to be common enough to add a FAQ entry for though, so I will try to make some time today to take those discussions and turn them into a good documentation page.

Hi everyone,

I wrote new docs for this. It takes the previous threads and goes into a lot more detail on how to solve this issue.

It's possible that it's vague in some areas, so I would also love to hear if there are bits you don't understand/I didn't explain well enough.
