Hi Guys,

I have this requirement.

Whenever a user signs into DNN, i need to make a WebService call to a remote server and pass in just the username and the remote server returns a session and transaction id. I need to include a link in the DNN site with that session / transaction id and when the user visit that link can see secured content.  (The remote site accepts that he is already logged in through parent site i.e SSO)

I can't find any kind of Events/Hooks that get fired so that i can hook up my code to make that webservice call. Drupal has a feature of hooks for login, logout, newuser, etc. i need these three events to get my requirement work.

• When Login - make remote call through webservice, get session id/trans id and include in the url
• When Logout - call a url and invoke the logout page
• When New registration - make remote call through webservice and the remote system registers the user

All users are registered and stored locally in DNN. Is this possible in DNN? (i know it is possible in Drupal)

Kindly let me know so that i can make my decision of using DNN or Drupal for this project. i have used DNN in numerous other projects and haven't come across this requirement. My gut feeling says that DNN might have some feature to handle this.

Awaiting reply,

thanks/regards, Rafiq

Thanks John.

Isn't that basic requirement these days and it would be really great if you DNN guys add a feature to write a extension to support this.

John Mitchell wrote There is not currently a way to hook the login event in DNN. You will have to modify the core login, or create your own login module and put that on a page then set the login page in Admin > Site Settings.

to elaborate on that a bit: DNN 4.6.x comes with brand new authentication providers, right now for: dnn standard, LiveID, OpenID, ActiveDirectory and CardSpace. The new authentication provider functionality makes it quite a bit easier to creat your own authentication solution...
