New version of authentication module for SilverStripe

A new version of the SilverStripe external authentication module has been released (0.2). Release highlights:

• This module allows you to configure multiple external authentication sources. Upon login the user can select a source and his credentials.  You can also configure the module to check all sources for a given set op credentials.
• Added SilverStripe driver. This driver uses the built in authentication methods with a twist. Normally SilverStripe uses E-mail/Password for logon. This driver allows the user to configure a user-ID and use that to log-on (very handy if you have a long mail address)
• HTTP authentication driver. The module can use a remote webserver with private pages to authenticate forSilverStripe. The remote server may even be behind a proxy server.
• Previously, auto added accounts (accounts that do not exists in SilverStripe before login) often had illegal mail addresses. No a default domain can be configured to be used in the construction of a mail address
• Extra selection criteria to search for accounts in the LDAPdriver
• The LDAP driver can now work with multiple base DNs
• Bugfixes
