Use login credentials outside EE
Development and Programming
Hi!
I wonder if is it possible to use EE membership as credential for our old systems for login? Is there a hook-up in order to make this possible?
We have stand-alone systems built outside EE and we wish that our members in EE can login to our system as well with their EE credentials.
best regards, Jay
Jay,
That is outside the scope of our technical support but we have a forum available for such a question. I am goign to move this thread to it.
There are a few third-party bridges between EE. Take a look at devot-ee.com
You would probably need to give some more details about your own system and exactly what you want to do to solicit a reply first.
Thanks Brandon,
I am sorry for being so eager with this. I just really love how EE is. It’s my second week with EE environment and I can see the possibilities. Hope it won’t change. It is just hard jumping from a “start from scratch coder” to an EE developer. Wheewwww….
Anyway, I am looking forward for the community to give me enlightenment with my consent.
Best regards, Jay
Hi!
I were able to use EE members credential to login to my existing system which is built in CodeIgniter already. Actually no-sweat but I wonder if there are issues concerning security with my implementation.
This is what I did. I called EE db and exp_member table (default of EE). This might have been overwritten during your installation just in-case you are reading my post.
I will continue. I called the exp_member table then queried email as my login-id (it can be also the username) and the password using SHA1. That is it, whallaaahhh, I am already logged-in to my existing system. 😉
Any feedbacks? Are there security issues or whatsoever issue about it?
best regards, Jay
