Single Login

Post by Dbug »

Hello,
I've been reading/searching a bit about how to create a single login system, and unfortunately most of the existing stuff is ultra limited, like how to use your Facebook login to access a WordPress blog.

Based on that research, it looks like the best thing to do would be for me to write my own system and automagically update phpbb, q&a, etc... from my own registration data system. That's quite some work, but that would allow me at some point later to do things like restricted download areas for members of Defence Force (which would allow Chema for example to have a "safe" download link for SchoolDaze)

Still searching :)

Nope, but I'm open to all the suggestions, I can investigate if you think it's worth doing.

Basically I was thinking in not using something like facebook/myspace/twitter/whatever-else mostly because I care about the privacy of people.

Sure when you register on defence-force there are no "we guarantee that we are not going to share your information with whoever", but in practice it is :)
