Website integration: s9y login to website

[febone]

Hello:
I've seen comments on how to integrate s9y into an existing authentication system.

Can it be done the other way around; using s9y as the authentication system, then being able to break out of the blog into the other secured pages?

Thanks,
Francis.

Hi!

Can it be done the other way around; using s9y as the authentication system, then being able to break out of the blog into the other secured pages?

You could do that either by using your own authentication PHP stuff against the serendipity_authors table. Or you can include the s9y framework into your own application, and then use the supplied s9y functions to perform login?

Best regards,
