intercept user authentication (for offsite validation)

  • Okay WordPress junkies… here’s one for you.

    We have a user database and CRM system (using .NET and MSSQL).

    The latest project is going to use WordPress MU.

    What we need to do is utilize our current user credentials. We have an XML output in our system right now that, when presented with an HTTP request containing an API key, a username, a password, and a blog ID, will return the user’s information.

    I need to have this happen in the WordPress login process.

    So I suppose that this would be a custom user login. If they enter the correct credentials, we send back the current profile data, that data is then entered into the WordPress DB.

    Any takers? ??

    Thanks for the help.

  • Have you gotten an answer to this, just stumbled on the post, I have done this exact thing for another client. It involves authenticating from your API, and then forcing wordpress to generate the cookie credentials, (for a user which we have created in the wp_users table if they don’t already exist) Then set the cookies and re-direct the user to some login only access page.
