Custom login doesn't work with mod list from config.xml

Ok, maybe this is a well known fact, but I couldn't find it in documentation. To make things even worse, "Custom login integration" tutorial talks about setting moderators in config file, which is impossible (from my experience) when you use a custom login (seems like they are just ignored).

I really like config file defined mods feature. Is there any way I can access "moderator profile data" from custom login extension? On server side we have "addModerator" and "removeModerator" methods, but I don't see "getModerators" kind of method, that would enable me to compare logged user to moderator list, so I could call user.setAsModerator().

Am I missing something?

You will need to use a different appraoch to identify moderator users. Some options: a) store 'is a moderator' flag in database or b) store a list in your zone extension.

Sure, I already did something similar, but it is just shame that we can't reuse such useful feature in custom login

It would make much more sense to me, if API automatically checks the moderator list inside "canLogin" method call.
