What is Single SignOn/SignOff
MageLink connects the login/logout procedure of Magento and TYPO3. If you login to TYPO3, you’re being logged in also to Magento.
The process is not directly viewable by your customers, it happens invisible in the background on both systems.
After the user has logged in and the credentials are valid, the user will be imported to TYPO3 or Magento.
You are able to configure the base system for the user data.
With the single SignOn, you also have the possibility to read your custom attributes that you added by your own customer modules in Magento.
When a user is assigned to a group, MageLink will try to find a group with the same name on the opposite system and add the user to the found group.
