System -> LoginShare -> For staff and admin

[bradycreel]

Can we get a LoginShare module so I can use LDAP for my staff?

Also, any way to disable the public registration/login box?

[Varun Shoor]

We are planning to expand LoginShare to cover Staff and Admin Interface but have no set date for this.

I really, really want to get an LDAP login feature for staff. Anybody else?

[craigbrass]

This has been suggested in the past. Varun has said he will be looking to extend LoginShare to the staff area in 3.1. We'll just have to wait and see.

Oh yeah!!!!!!!!!!!

I'd also like this feature.

[bradycreel]

Are we ever going to see this feature?

Is there a way to allow for both AD loginshare or SupportSuite Login?

I have setup two template groups. One uses AD loginshare for our internal users (This is the default group). The other uses the SupportSuite Login Routine (Not the default group). I have also setup two ticketing departments. One to use the AD template and the other to use the supportsuite template.

I figured by setting this up I could allow for both my internal users and external customers to use the same site. But it does not look like I am able to do this since I so not see a register icon on my support center home page, just a AD login page. If there is something I am missing or need to explain my config further, please let me know. Thanks

Any update on this? LDAP is used in most corps so I would like to see this available in staff CP.

Quite possibly, in Version 4.

We want to know whether it is possible to use Single Sign on facility for Staff and Admin module.

We have many staff users in different departments and it has become difficult to maintain. We can't keep a resource to create Staff ID and password when they join and delete their IDs when they leave the organization.

We will be having more control when we use single sign on, we can disable at one place.

Let us know if there are any workarounds.

Thanks & Regards,

It isn't currently possible.

It is however in consideration for V4.

You can actually achieve this with some code modifications.

In /admin/index.php and /staff/index.php, around line 44, instead of

		// Authentication successfull, Generate a sessionid for this user
		$session->insertSession(SESSION_ADMIN, $staffid);

or

	// Authentication successfull, Generate a sessionid for this user
		$session->insertSession(SESSION_STAFF, $staffid);

put this

	// Authentication successfull, Generate a sessionid for this user
		$session->insertSession(SESSION_ADMIN, $staffid);
		$session->insertSession(SESSION_STAFF, $staffid);

Similar changes for the logout loop (line 73) in the /admin/index.php and /staff/index.php files.

} else if ($_REQUEST["_ca"] == "logout") {
	$result = $session->logoutSession(SESSION_ADMIN);
	$result = $session->logoutSession(SESSION_STAFF);

There is an isadmin flag set in for the staff team (swstaffgroup table). Please make sure you wrap the insertSession code based on that flag otherwise it basically opens up the admin cp to all staff users.

I'm wondering how do you add Loginshare for the path staff.
http://mysite.com/staff
I want to change that login to authenticate with another service.

Thank you for replying,
