Topic on Extension talk:PluggableAuth

Sorry If I didnt see it somewhere in the docs, but do you have somewhere a minimalst auth provider example/template one could use as basis to extend?

The section "Creating an authorization plugin" talks something about a hook, but the other auth provider plugins (for 7.0) I looked through, do not use it, but extend some class?

Unless I'm completely overlooking something, could you please provide a dummy provider that say just hardcoded authorizes the user "bob" with the password "foobar"? (and thats the place I'd put my backend in)

You could look at the tests/includes/DummyAuth.php file for a minimal provider used in testing. Probably the simplest fully functional provider from a code perspective is Extension:OpenID Connect. You are correct that the group population hook was removed in version 7.0 and the documentation needs to be updated to reflect that.

Thank you! Got it and works, but had to look through other solutions for a complete API (at least I hope i have everything I need :). To be honest I got confused by "authorization" vs "authentication" thats why the doc made so little sense to me.
