Re: [Tikiwiki-users] how about Login Authentication from another user database?

[Greg M. <gm...@gm...>]

IMO, The answer to this resides in using external authentication methods 
to applications and not the custom-built internal ones.  If your Joomla 
install made use of an external LDAP service for authentication, you'd 
be all set.  I think building another model for one application to 
authenticate to another would amount to reinventing something that 
already exists.
