i am updated the response and its working fine . but it is a suiteCRM core module , i want to extend the login functionality with out affecting core modules, So how can i extend the modules inside suircrm .How can i achieve this

Answer 1

In order to change the login you need to create a custom version of the modules that the login process uses in the custom/modules directory.

The authentication is handled by the users module. You could create your own type of authentication by copying one from modules/Users/authentication/

and pasting it in custom/modules/Users/authentication/.

This will give you a means to extend or to create your own authentication method.

You may wish to simply copy the SugarAuthenticate. Then you can create a custom version of it.
