EE Authentication

Are there any libraries for using EE authenticationin CI? Thanks

Considering EE (well version 2) is built on-top of Codeigniter, you could easily use it in CI. I've been meaning to try this myself actually.

Great! So how do I detect if a user has logged into EE from a CI controller?

You could write hooks into EE (Login/logoff) to set your own logged in session vars, then check those? Depends what you mean by authentication though, do you want your own login forms etc.?

Sorry for being unclear. I want to run a seperate CI installation from an EE installation. So I want my own login forms etc. Also if you are logged in to the EE site you should ofc also be to the CI site.

To do that you either have to build your own login routine that matches the same cookies/sessions as EE or use hooks with EE and set your login cookies/sessions when they login via the EE side. More than likely you would be better off just converting whatever you are building into an EE plugin/module.
