Any alternate authentication method instead of login method?

Hi Everyone,

Great Forum and good people out here. May be you guys can help me out in figuring out if we can have an authentication system which can login the user based on cookies?


What do ya all say?

I will apprciate your suggestions and examples.

Thanks

Hi reaves_code1,

I'm sure you can. Use the Joomla User password code to genreate a password string; store the MD5 version in the database and the original in the users cookie. Check the cookie value against the stored version as needed.

It suffers from the usual cookie problems - it won't work reliably as there are many circumstances where cookies don't stay with the user.
