cake and joomla with single sign on
Hi allI searched through here looking for more info on this idea I have but didn't see much discussion of this yet. I noticed there was at one time an effort to create a bridge between Cake and Joomla, called Jake, but that project seems abandoned. So what I would like to do is this. I currently maintain a Joomla- based site. One part of the site I would like to build out with Cake. I had planned to host it on a subdomain, and then bridge the two somehow. This cake-based subdomain is going to be available only to paying customers. I would use the Cake acl stuff to manage those logins. But users with logins for the Joomla site need to be able to access the Cake site. And I'd like to build it so that they can use their Joomla logins on the Cake sub-site. I'm really not sure how to go about this, I figured I would need to dig deep into just how logins work under Joomla. Cake is such a more agile development platform so I'd really really like to avoid building a Joomla plugin of any sort. Maybe I could write a small one that just served as some kind of authentication service...and Cake would make calls to this in order to make this single sign on happen. Any advice is appreciated.

Re: cake and joomla with single sign on
Until you get a specific answer to your challenge try to use openid which try to deal with this issue exactly. If both of your databases are hosted on the same database you can create a view in cake database to look up joomla users table and use this view when referencing auth and acl components. This will solve the duplication but not the need to relogin, I think this should be solved with some kind of cookie.

Re: cake and joomla with single sign on
If all you are using is the joomla core (articles, users), without any (or too many) extensions, you might try something like migrating all your Joomla articles and users straight from the joomla database into a cake-based cms eg. croogo ( http://croogo.org/ ) database, then continuing forward from there. If you can do that, life will be alot simpler for you in the future, having to only deal with one system, ie. cake. But if you are more heavily entrenched in Joomla with many extensions, this might be too difficult pill to swallow, and you may be forced to bridge. Does Jake no longer work?
