Come together with the global Drupal community in Rotterdam, 28 Sept – 1 Oct 2026. Sessions, contribution, connection, and Early Bird savings until 8 June.
where can I ask questions about this forum itself? specifically, its distributed authentication.
really, just wanted to register for the jedit forum. They use drupal:
Distributed authentication
One of the more tedious moments in visiting a new website is filling out the registration form. Here at jEdit Community, you do not have to fill out a registration form if you are already a member of Drupal. This capability is called Distributed Authentication, and is unique to Drupal, the software which powers jEdit Community.
I wonder if my drupal site has been compromised. After I log in, I am unable to navigate to any panel on the dashboard. If hackers already have hacked my site, what can I do?
when I click on the menu options of my web, tabs are opened in the browser with pages of publicity. I checked the files and I did not find any modified file. I suspect that it has code injected into the drupal database. I have modified one record of the table menu_links and after this I restore de original values in the record. After this the web throw an error during de load ("The site has encountered an unexpected error. Please try again later."). The web head is displayed but it stop when it has to display the menu.
From the documentation I've read, and which I may have misunderstood, there is a core Drupal installation which you can reach by following your nose, and there are distributions that bundle the core together with added software to make a starting-point forum / CRM / blog / ... site.
