[EP-tech] Re: SWORD and Eprints 3.2

[Sebastien Francois]

Hi Ian,

There's nothing special about authentication on SWORD, it calls 
$session->valid_login() which then call your optional 
$c->{check_user_password} (defined in cfg.d/user_login.pl) or 
$database->valid_login() for local auth.

So yes, this should just work.

Seb.
