portal - pass user id to external site

[mikesolomon]

Is it possible to pass the user id to an external site?

I have an external page that I have put into the portal

This page requires a login

What I'd like to do is pass the Sugar User ID to it then I can easily say that if it exists then skip password screen

I wrote an index page to see what values come over

<?php

foreach ($_SESSION as $key=>$value){
print "SESSION $key" . '=' . $value . "<br>\n";
}

foreach ($_REQUEST as $key=>$value){
print "REQUEST $key" . '=' . $value . "<br>\n";
}




?>
All i get returned is REQUEST PHPSESSID=9ccf31450fd6d44bfde454c7e70bcccf

Is it possible?

Hi, Mike.

I didn´t understand how will you access this external page. Is it through Sugar itself?

Can you explain in more details?

Thank you.

Cheers

I am calling the page using the portal

It is a page where one of our customers can log support calls

At the moment if one of our engineers clicks on the page via the portal they then have to login

What I'd like to do is to pass the Sugar login details to the external page

This way the page would be seamless with Sugar

Hope that makes sense

Mike ... don't know if it helps but we use Joomla as the portal solution and synchronise user id, user name and password between sugar and joomla.

drop me an email if we can help.

Hi Mike,
It depends on just how external the other system is:

1. if the access to the external system is authenticated by sugar then you should be able to share the session_id stored as phpsessid and pass that back as a cookie.

2. if the access is authenticated by something other than the same sugar instance you will have to
synchronise/relate usernames and passwords and post these to the login form (you could do this inviisbly
with curl).

Let us know
Andrew

this is not an answer!
this is a forum not a lead source generation bulletin board.

not to mention in the past i sent you an email for a bid and you ignored me!

THANKS!

Mike here's this, no idea what it means, anyone?

Here's a helpful bit of info the user id is an active session variable $_SESSION["authorized_user_id"]
i'm unfamiliar with the method used to push variables to the html / tpl pages for instance modules/iFrame/iframe.php somehow creates a set of variables which are interpretted in the detailview.html via {IFRAME.ID} which displays the id. If the session variable could be added to the {IFRAME.make thiso one} then you could hard code the userid after the url, so the url would have to be

this may not make much sense, but if you actually look at the code you'll see what i'm talking about.

so close, everything is there, it's just a matter of syntax

it's not upgrade friendly, but it's a matter of changing i'd say 2 lines on 2 files

tried the vardefs, couldn't quite decipher the arrays they built. tried defining my own without luck.

cmon forum, let's use our thinkers!

growing ever more frustrated!
