For a while I've written the JAuthTools plugins for Joomla! 1.0, now that 1.5 is released I have updated these to support Joomla! 1.5 and some of the newer features it supports. In this guide I will show you how you can use regular Apache authentication to provide SSO for your Joomla! site.

 

To achieve this we're going to make use of two products of mine. The first is my "Advanced Tools for 1.5" system that allows you to install both packages and libraries. The second is "JAuthTools for 1.5" which provides user creation (presently only supporting LDAP) and Single Sign On by retrieving information stored elsewhere. In this case we're going to use the HTTP SSO plugin from JAuthTools to pick up the user authentication from Apache.

 

But first we need to get Apache to use an authentication method.
