DA enables a new user to input a username and password into the login box and immediately be recognized, even if that user never registered on your site. This works because Drupal knows how to communicate with external registration databases. For example, lets say that your new user 'Joe' is already a registered member of Delphi Forums. If your Drupal has the delphi module installed, then Drupal will inform Joe on the registration and login screens that he may login with his Delphi ID instead of registering with your Drupal instance. Joe likes that idea, and logs in with a username of joe@remote.delphiforums.com and his usual Delphi password. Drupal then communicates with remote.delphiforums.com (usually using XML, HTTP-POST, or SOAP) behind the scenes and asks "is this password for username=joe?" If Delphi replies yes, then Drupal will create a new local account for joe and log joe into it. Joe may keep on logging into your Drupal instance in the same manner, and he will be logged into the same joe@remote.delphiforums.com account.

One key element of DA is the 'authmap' table, which maps a user's authname (e.g. joe@remote.delphiforums.com) to his local UID (i.e. user identification number). This map is checked whenever a user successfully logs into an external authentication source. Once Drupal knows that the current user is definitely joe@remote.delphiforums.com (because Delphi says so), he looks up Joe's UID and logs Joe into that account.

To disable distributed authentication, simply disable or remove all DA modules. For a virgin install, that means removing/disabling the jabber module and the drupal module.

Drupal is setup so that it is very easy to add support for any external authentication source. You currently have the following authentication modules installed ...
