I don't think there is a "magic" solution: you have to write something we call "bridge" in programming.

Create a signon script that uses the APIs of both Joomla and Jammit Jobs for achieving authentication from external applications.

You can start from here: Joomla Login Authentication from external app

Or you can search on the web for pre-made Single Sign On (SSO) solutions, like this one: http://extensions.joomla.org/extensions/access-a-security/site-access/auto-login/19547

  • But i dont want to use cookies for that and my databse for both sites are different any idea.? – Aadilhussain Sep 20 '12 at 06:28
  • Databases will always be different, in fact you'll have to duplicate the user info. Why don't you want to use cookies? They are the only way we know to login people. – gd1 Sep 20 '12 at 07:04
  • But i think there are security concern with cookies and if i create external enviornment for joomla than how a use already logged in in joomla shows login in jamit .Is open id a solution for my problem? Thank you gd1 for replying – Aadilhussain Sep 20 '12 at 08:28
  • OpenID may be a solution, as long as both CMS support it (seach for extensions). No, cookies are no security concern, if they expire soon. – gd1 Sep 20 '12 at 08:42
