Reinventing the login system

[jeremyhaber]

Before I buy, I want to know if this is possible.

 

I currently have a login system that cannot be transferred over.

 

I want to know if its possible to develop a "plugin" to use my costume login system.

 

Thanks.

Depends what your 'plugin' actually does, you can integrate WHMCS with your login for sure.

Would that be done with the login/logout action hooks?

 

I want to be able to have one unified login system.

You cannot replace the WHMCS login system as it is tightly integrated into the code itself, however WHMCS is very easy to bridge, either as a master or a slave.

 

In a master scenario, all logins are routed through WHMCS which then fires off what is called an actionhook (PHP code) that would execute and run code to start a session in your other backend. You would have to write a little code as a mechanism for tracking the association of these two login systems.

 

The slave scenario works pretty much the same in reverse. Your other login system runs some PHP code after successfully validating the client, checking if they have an account in WHMCS, creating it if necessary, then creating the WHMCS session, the process of which is painfully simple.

 

What is this "other" login system you mention, it may be possible that such a bridge already exists for it.
