I'm putting together a membership website and using amember to control all access to it. So far I have managed to get amember to control the login for my wordpress site and my phpbb forum. I have installed another application within my site (nothing to do with wordpress) which also requires a member to login for access. I want this to also be controlled by the single sign-on through amember but I don't know how to get the two programs working together as I don't have any scripting/programming knowledge. I looked at the Integration Plugin Maker within amember but I cannot find any info on how this works or what all the variables do. The example on the site does not refer to an SSO integration so I was wondering if there are any instructions for this anywhere and if so whether you think someone like me with very little knowledge would be able to use the Plugin Maker to create the required plugin. The other application is compatible with SSO but all they provide is all the required variables, no other instructions. Thanks for any help you can give me. Regards Paul
Using the KISS (Keep it Simple, Stupid!!) principal Why not just put the application in its own folder and use aMember to protect that folder? (Advantage no actual programming skills are required.) That way if they are already logged in they can access the folder and if they are not attempting to access it will take them to the aMember login page. Obviously if they are not members they will be given the opportunity to sign up to your site.
Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately it is a requirement that members have to be logged-in to the application itself in order to use it, so setting up SSO is essential.
