I can't quite get my head around this. As the two systems are running
independently, how are you going to get the id/token from one to the other?
Isis is capable of starting up without authenticating the user - see the
uses of ExplorationSession and AnonymousSession in the DnD and Scimpi
UIs respectively. The sessions there are set up during startup, for the
DnD viewer, and at the beginning of each request for Scimpi.
What user interface are you considering using?

Hi Robert,
Indeed - I have already added a SQL authenticator to the Isis
framework that can be used to verify details (login name and
password), but I was now wondering about using session data so that,
having logged into either Isis or Joomla, visiting the *other* framework
would not require another login.

Hi Kevin
Authentication and authorisation in Isis is done via a couple of
plug-ins. So creating your own versions that check with Joomla's
security data is what I would look at first.
Extend PasswordRequestAuthenticatorAbstract to authenticate a user via
the database and extend AuthenticationManagerStandardInstallerAbstract
to install your authenticator. Add an isis.authentication property to
the isis.properties file to specify the installer class.

Dear all,
I am working on another project that is being implemented on both Isis
and Joomla!. Its for an institute that wants to provide CMS functionality
for members (personal web pages, blogging, articles, etc), and also
provide online user management (the backend) for the institute council
(member enrolment, payment status, invoicing, etc).
I'm using Joomla! 1.7 for the front-end, and Isis for the backend,
sharing data via the SQL objectstore (common schema pattern, I
guess).
My question is: Would it be possible for a login on the CMS (Joomla!)
to carry over onto the HTML viewer? I'll be looking into cookie-based
sessions late today...
Since, I think, Joomla uses session data stored in one of its tables, it
might be easier to drive the login from the Isis direction instead (and
have Isis create the session database information)..

Kevin
