How to

Foreword

You can choose to do authentication (check login and password) from another extern source.

• If You have already a forum/CMS (or other), example : http://yourdomain/forum/
  you can install IntraMessenger at same level : http://yourdomain/intramessenger/
  or inside : http://yourdomain/forum/intramessenger/
  
• So you will allow access to IntraMessenger only for forum registered users.
  You just have to change parameters in IntraMessenger (nothing to do in the forum).
  IntraMessenger will just check logins and passwords (users can be connected or not to the forum).
  

On setup

• Choose installation type: mod/AddOn/plugin.
• Select authentication (your application).
• Specify the location (of your application).

After install, updates to all external authentication types

• eventually : determine prefix
  and connection paremeters (if one different from IntraMessenger, write them all):
  
  
• determine url (address) to register (_EXTERN_URL_TO_REGISTER)
  (example: http://www.intramessenger.net/phpbb2/profile.php?mode=register&).
  
  
• determine url (address) to get back forgotten password (_EXTERN_URL_FORGET_PASSWORD)
  (example: http://www.intramessenger.net/phpbb2/profile.php?mode=sendpassword&).
