I installed External Login for Joomla! 4. I cannot enable external login, either for individual users or globally.

I am trying to create a new authentication feature - authentication against own external authenticator which is not of such specific kind like cas or oauth and may not require any access token. Would it be possible to add such additional plugin? I would try to contribute with this if I got good hints what to do (what to preserve, what to omit/change compared to the cas login plugin).

In my case it would be authentication against a dedicated subdomain or directory using id card, then after succesful authentication auto login to Joomla site (and auto registration before it if the user doesn't exist yet).

The authenticator first prompts for pin code

and after succesful authentication outputs id card owner's data in json format, like this
{"firstname":"JAANUS","lastname":"NURMOJA","pno":"PNOEE-36706230000","idcode":"36706230000","email":"[email protected]","country":"EE"}
which would then be json_decoded and mapped to Joomla user fields. Then (auto registration and) auto login.

Maybe it woulld be good idea to consider any kind of fully custom plugin - in settings, the admin would set not only the url but also let's say choose the format of ext login output (json, xml, raw etc), does it require client id / client secret, which output field corresponds to which user field and so on.

Thanks in advance!
