This Event allows to provide authentication on a per request basis by using signatures or tokens instead of the default DokuWiki login or cookies.

Since 2010-01-29, there is an AFTER event available.

$data is an associative array containing user, password, sticky and silent login parameters.

If the Event handler does not $event→preventDefault() those parameters are passed to auth_login().

The following plugins are known to handle this event and their source code may be a good start for understanding and implementing a handler yourself.

• Oauth simple (simple: hardcoded tokens) for the OAuth API
• Oauth - work in progress

• Action Plugins
• Events
