[TYPO3-english] FE user authentication from custom extension

[Jan Bednarik]

Hi guys,

I'm providing REST API for a website built on TYPO3. One of the 
endpoints will be login. I'm not sure how to do it though. I don't think 
that selecting from fe_users table where username=x and password=y is 
the right way. Moreover, the passwords are hashed, so the REST client 
would need to know the salt and the way the passwords are hashed.

Any ideas how to approach this?

Thanks

Jan
