Tip! Use persistent caching (APC or file based caching) in PHP-Rocker to speed up the server response when requesting operations that requires authentication

Optional configuration

You can add the following configuration to config.php if you want to restrict which authentication mechanisms that should be enabled or which e-mail domains that should be allowed.

'google.login' => array(

    # Comma separated string telling PHP-Rocker that the user has to have an e-mail address
    # at one of the declared domains
    'allowed_domains' => 'somewebsite.com,otherwebsite.co.uk',

    # Comma separated string with authentication mechanism that should be disabled
    'disabled_auth_mechanisms' => 'basic,rc4',
    
    # Whether or not the user credentials should be base64_decoded by the Authentication 
    # class. This option should be set to true in case your'e using rocker.js to 
    # communicate with your Rocker server
    'base64_encoded' => true
)
