[Question] Alternative Authentication possible?

[noxify]

Hi,

i would ask, if it's possible to use an alternative authentication package?

Is it "just" changing the guard and the policy class in the config or do i have do change something else?

Thanks!

I tested it a bit and it seems that it requires more than just changing the config.

I have used rinvex/fort which extends the default auth with some good features.

For me, Decoy seems to be the solution to speed up my development, because it includes everything what i need.

My idea/plan is/was to allow my users to control their posts via the decoy control panel.
In my first prototype i created everything from scratch... i don't really like it....

With the curent implementation i don't see the possibility to allow this access without syncing the users table with the admins table.

But correct me if i'm wrong :)

Anyway... thanks a lot for this awesome work :)

We have done this in the past, replacing the Decoy auth wtih a client's SSO solution. But it's been awhile and since we only added tests recently, I'm not surprised that's not working as intended. Originally we used the Sentry package but replaced it as it grew in a direction we weren't interested in.

I do want replacing the auth to be possible and would accept a PR if you find the things that need changing to make it work again. But if it's not working now, I don't see us taking on this work ourselves until we have a client of our own that requires it.

You could try extending the SessionGuard and setting logic in it's user method? Then setting your app to use your extended SessionGuard class.
