Basically, rather than using phpVMS's login system, I want to use my own, which is implemented with all the other things I run (VA Forums etc).
In the login template, I redirect the user to my own system, and the user then logs in there. If the credentials are correct, the login system (should) log the user into phpVMS.
But, the system only returns the CID, PilotID and name, therefore I have no password to check with phpVMS's login system.
So, I was wondering if there was a way using sessions etc / rewriting the login function, so the password would not be needed,
Since the function would be called by the login system, only once the user has authenticated themselves, I can't see why this wouldn't be secure.
