How to use web services to share Joomla login sess

Question

This is file which is use to login on joomla site.

// a super-stripped down 2-leg oauth server/client example
function getLogin($userid, $psswrd) {
    $app = JFactory::getApplication();
    jimport('joomla.user.authentication');
    jimport('joomla.session.session');
    $auth = &JAuthentication::getInstance();
    $session = &JFactory::getSession();
    $session->set('name', "value");
    $ssn_name = $session->get('name');
    $sessionDetails = array(
            'State' => $session->getState(),
            'Expire' => session->getExpire(),
            'Token' => $session->getToken(),
            'FormToken' => $session->getFormToken(),
            'Name' => $session->getName(),
            'Id' => $session->getId(),
            'getStores' => $session->getStores(),
            'isNew' => $session->isNew());

    $username = $userid;
    $password = $psswrd;
    $credentials = array(
            'username' => $username,
            'password' => $password);
    $options = array();
    $response = $auth->authenticate($credentials, $options);

    if ($response->status == JAUTHENTICATE_STATUS_SUCCESS) {
        $response->status = true;

        $sessionDetails['loginStatus'] = $loginStatus = $app->login($credentials, $options);

        return $sessionDetails;
    }
    else {
        $response->status = false;
        return 'testFalse';
    }
}

Now we are calling this using localhost by

$client = new nusoap_client("http://domain-name/site-name/nusoap/remoteLogin.php");

$error = $client->getError();
if ($error) {
    echo "<h2>Constructor error</h2><pre>" . $error . "</pre>";
}

$result = $client->call("getLogin", array(
        "userid" => "admin",
        "password" => "test"));

After this session is created at above project and update it in database with new entry. But still not login on site. Can anyone help me.

Thanks

Ok, as Brent Friar posted and elin cited, you need to

• Create a new session and get the associated token
• Pass the username, password, and token to create a logged in session
• Get the new cookie values for logged in session
• Transfer cookie to the browser

Here is the code needed to accomplish all of this:

<?php
$uname = $_POST['username'];
$upswd = $_POST['password'];
$url = "http://joomla website.com";

$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url );
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, FALSE );
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, TRUE );
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIESESSION, TRUE );
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR, realpath('./cookie.txt'));
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE, realpath('./cookie.txt'));
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, TRUE );
$ret = curl_exec($ch);
if (!preg_match('/name="([a-zA-z0-9]{32})"/', $ret, $spoof)) {
    preg_match("/name='([a-zA-z0-9]{32})'/", $ret, $spoof);
}

// POST fields
$postfields = array();
$postfields['username'] = urlencode($uname);
$postfields['passwd'] = urlencode($upswd);
$postfields['option'] = 'com_user';
$postfields['task'] = 'login';
$postfields[$spoof[1]] = '1';
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $postfields);
$ret = curl_exec($ch);

// Get logged in cookie and pass it to the browser
preg_match('/^Set-Cookie: (.*?);/m', $ret, $m);
$cookie=explode('=',$m[1]);
setcookie($cookie[0], $cookie[1]);
?>

This should work on any Joomla website as long as the URL used in the script has a login form on the page. Once you run this script you should then be able to access the website and be logged in.
