Thanks Jason, I guess I'm looking for a bit more guidance or best practice on this issue. Any suggestions, my other thought was the coldfusion site passing authentication credentials to drupal but I'm not really sure how this would work. thanks On Jan 27, 2008 3:42 PM, Jason Flatt <drupal@oadaeh.net> wrote:

Hi I have a project of building a new section for an existing Coldfusion site. The would like users to only have to login to the cold fusion site but then also gain access to the drupal site so they don't need to login again. Just wondering if anyone has done this or what would be the best option.

Thanks,

Maybe this module will provide some help: http://drupal.org/project/sql_auth

It has no releases, so you'll have to pull the code from CVS: http://drupal.org/node/321

I don't know that sql_auth is the problem. Drupal has an OpenID module that might help if the coldfusion site can use it. You might be able to create a module to use hook_user API [1]. See the link [1] and search for hook_user and user_user for examples. [1] http://api.drupal.org/api/ Earnie -- http://for-my-kids.com/ -- http://give-me-an-offer.com/
