Remove login requirement BUT set user specific directories

[redherring917b]

Hi there! As (many) others have said, lovely app - thanks! My question is this. I'd like to remove the need to login, as validation is going to occur upstream of tinyfilemanager. I know that I can set $use_auth = false; but in the config file I'd like to set user specific directories, so I need to establish the identity of the user with tinyfilemanager. I have a session variable available that identifies the user, but how can I use that variable to set the identify of the user for tinyfilemanager's purposes such that user specific directories set for that user are applied?

Thanks!

I'm back with my own answer i believe, but validation from others would be great!

I found this discussion #483 and used the thoughts therein to make some changes that appear to work.

// in this block of code, everything that is now $_GET was originally $_POST
// these replacements were made in order to pass user identifier and password as url parameters (?fm_usr=user&fm_pwd=12345)
// leaving $use_auth = true; the user is automatically logged in and identified such that I can set their user specific directory

} elseif (isset($_GET['fm_usr'], $_GET['fm_pwd'])) {
    // Logging In
    sleep(1);
    if(function_exists('password_verify')) {
        if (isset($auth_users[$_GET['fm_usr']]) && isset($_GET['fm_pwd']) && password_verify($_GET['fm_pwd'], $auth_users[$_GET['fm_usr']])) {
            $_SESSION[FM_SESSION_ID]['logged'] = $_GET['fm_usr'];
            fm_set_msg(lng('You are logged in'));
            fm_redirect(FM_SELF_URL . '?p=');
        } else {
            unset($_SESSION[FM_SESSION_ID]['logged']);
            fm_set_msg(lng('Login failed. Invalid username or password'), 'error');
            fm_redirect(FM_SELF_URL);
        }
    } else {
        fm_set_msg(lng('password_hash not supported, Upgrade PHP version'), 'error');;
    }

Thanks!
