Account modules

base module

The account modules control all the functionality which is specific for LDAP accounts or parts of them. E.g. they define the account detail pages where the user can edit accounts, the profile editor sections and much more. They are the core of LAM.

All account modules are saved in lib/modules/.
If your module needs any include files etc. please save it in lib/modules/<name of your module>.

Please take a look at the module HowTo for an example to write your own modules.
The complete specification for the module interface can be found here.

Superclass

All account modules should be subclasses of the baseModule.
This allows them to benefit from the meta data in the baseModule and reduces very much the code since not the complete module interface has to be implemented.


Module detection

New modules can simply be copied to lib/modules. LAM will check what files are inside the directory and provide the user new modules automtically.
There is no extra configuration file.
