Q: PHP auth in 2.2.0 vs. 2.2.1

[Albrecht Dreß]

Hi,

sorry, this is a somewhat long and off-topic question, by someone not  
having php experiences at all...

I'm trying to write scripts as to convert the 2.2.0 Horde prefs to  
2.2.1.  I meanwhile have a simple php script, running from the command  
line, which extracts all 2.2.0 prefs into files (serialized php  
array).  Although these files look somewhat like the 2.2.1 prefs at  
first glance, a simple copy doesn't work, so I need a second script for  
re-importing the data into 2.2.1.  Unfortunately, I cannot auth to the  
system, e.g. using the following simple script

<snip>
#!/kolab/bin/php -n

<?php

@define('AUTH_HANDLER', true);
@define('HORDE_BASE', '/kolab/var/kolab/www/horde');
require_once HORDE_BASE . '/lib/core.php';
require_once HORDE_BASE . '/lib/base.php';

$auth = &Auth::singleton('kolab');
$auth->setAuth('test', array());
var_dump($auth);

?>
</snip>

works nicely on Kolab 2.2.0 (and lets me read the Horde prefs), but  
(after replacing the path /kolab/var/kolab/www/horde by  
/kolab/var/kolab/www/client) on 2.2.1 spits out the following fatal  
error:

<snip>
A fatal error has occurred

Session cookies will not work without a FQDN and with a non-empty  
cookie domain. Either use a fully qualified domain name like  
"http://www.example.com" instead of  
"http://example" only, or set the cookie domain in the Horde  
configuration to an empty value, or enable non-cookie (url-based)  
sessions in the Horde configuration.

Details have been logged for the administrator.

Before digging through tons of code, maybe some of the gurus can give  
me an example how a command line php script can authenticate as some  
user (which write access to the prefs system, but without knowing the  
password, btw.) in Kolab 2.2.1.

Thanks in advance,
Albrecht.
