additional means of authentication/login

I already have a database full of users/passwords, without importing them into the mojo database whats the simplest way to authenticate pre-existing users...basically...I am trying to allow access to my mojoportal site by authenticating user's from a pre-existing web service...What needs to be done to make this happen?

Re: additional means of authentication/login

You could implement your own Login.aspx page that does what you need and then drop it in replacing the existing one. There is an example of an inline code page in this thread that inherits from out base page so it has an integrated look, you could modify the code to use your web service.

Hope it helps,

Joe

Re: additional means of authentication/login

You would want to add logic to create a mojoPortal site user corresponding to your user if authentication succeeds and the user does not exist in the mojoportal db, because we do need a SiteUser object for each user internally so it can still use mojoportal roles.

Hope it helps,

Re: additional means of authentication/login

Thanks i appreciate the input, im going to attempt to create a new login page like you said! That seems like the most simple and direct solution.
