Re: [Phpgroupware-developers] authentication problem

[Guillaume Courtois]

I understand the way it works, but is it logical that an internal module 
(syncml-server) authenticates itself in phpGW using XML-RPC ? I was thinking 
that XML-RPC was only used by external programs like a software on a remote 
server ?
