Custom authentication

[iliakan]

I'm building the site with custom authentication, which includes permanent sessions for anonymous users, multi-domain single login etc.

On database level I keep same vb_user table, so joins go just fine.

This approach requires my own custom code to set up authentication and remember/register user.

Where should I stick it into forum code (3.6) ?

One of the login_ hooks. Look in login.php for one that most suits you.

login hooks work only on login, not on authentication.

For example, when user comes to forum page, authentication may need to remember him or ask master in case of multi-domain authentication / OpenID.

In that case, init_startup.
