External Authentication

Hi Eugenio

I am developing a mobile app that interacts with the tables, creating and reading records from tables.

Now I cam to a point that record ownership is needed to filter what users can see and modify from the database.

So I need to authenticate the mobile users first. How do you recommend to implement this external authentication?

Thank you
Andres

Hello,
what do you mean exactly with "authenticate the mobile users first"? I am not sure I understood your question.
Please post details about your installation.

Best,

Hi Eugenio

Mobile users (users accessing the database from the mobile app) need to be authenticated first.

This authentication is not done on the browser. Instead the mobile application can perform POST or GET requests to the server.

Therefore, it is necessary to use a login PHP script that returns the result of an authentication intent.

I hope I was clear this time

Hello Andres,
if you mean authentication through APIs, this is not possible, the authentication needs to be done through the login form.
