Joomla! - Smile User Authentication
Created Wednesday, 06 January 2010 in F2 Joomla! Development
Our team is proud to announce the completion of another fantastic Joomla! project for a new client located in Melbourne, Australia, NewSat. In addition to the many unique design implementation requirements requiring custom template solutions, there was also a need to create a custom user authentication plug-in so that users could be authenticated against the billing system employed by the company, Smile from Inomial. Instead of registered users or customers being granted access to the NewSat site via Joomla's own user authentication system, customers are granted access via a remote look-up process that confirms that the person logging in is indeed an active customer of NewSat stored within the Smile billing system. This small project therefore provides an example of some of the interesting ways in which customers, having made their decision to use the Joomla! CMS as their website 'operating system', are seeking to integrate 3rd party and/or legacy systems.
