While the tobackend and frombackend hooks looked appealing at first, they are not called in the appropriate locations to be useable for this goal. After discussing alternatives with Chuck, I settled on this approach: Pass the values by reference to the preauthenticate hook. This will allow rewriting of the parameters if required. The defualt case does not do that so this should not impact BC. It does however let me rewrite the username to include the domain name of the HTTP Vhost when the user authenticates.

Wed, 27 Sep 2006 11:50:31 +0000 https://bugs.horde.org/ticket/4456#t24353 You're right, sorry about that. I looked into trying to do the same modification to Horde::callHook() but it is not possible with PHP4. callHook() sets $args to a default value of array(). If the function signature is changed to specify $args as a pass-by-reference, a parse error is thrown. According to the PHP documentation this is valid in PHP5 but not PHP4. Unless I'm missing something, this change isn't going to be possible (at least, not while maintaining backward compatibility).
