/**
 * Example external authentication source.
 *
 * This class is an example authentication source which is designed to
 * hook into an external authentication system.
 *
 * To adapt this to your own web site, you should:
 * 1. Create your own module directory.
 * 2. Add a file "default-enable" to that directory.
 * 3. Copy this file and modules/exampleauth/www/resume.php to their corresponding
 *    location in the new module.
 * 4. Replace all occurrences of "exampleauth" in this file and in resume.php with the name of your module.
 * 5. Adapt the getUser()-function, the authenticate()-function and the logout()-function to your site.
 * 6. Add an entry in config/authsources.php referencing your module. E.g.:
 *        'myauth' => array(
 *            '<mymodule>:External',
 *        ),
 *
 * @package SimpleSAMLphp
