I'm fairly new to PHP programming, I'm trying to achieve single sign-on between SquirrelMail and our Java-based portal (uPortal). I'm using JASIG CAS as the authentication system (via PAM CAS on the IMAP server). CAS uses one-time password tokens, so each brand new IMAP authentication attempt will require a new password. To complicate this further, I'm also planning to use IMAP proxy (up-imapproxy). So I'll need to cache password tokens for a short while in the session and once they expire in the proxy re-obtain new password credentials from CAS. I'd also like to continue offering the non-CAS method of IMAP authentication. Incidentally, I'm using ESUP phpCAS software. I've managed to get something working by directly modifying the source code of several SquirrelMail source files (including imap_general.php and webmail.php) but it doesn't feel right. I think I should really be using hooks. As I understand it, I need a hook to be called every time the function sqimap_login from imap_general.php is called. This hook will need to be able to modify the password string used for IMAP connection. It will need to attempt IMAP authentication and when the password token expires in the IMAP proxy it will acquire a new password token and re-attempt authentication. Does anybody have any advice on the best way to implement this?
