Overview

...

With the AutoLoginShare plugin you can connect your slave HostBill instances into master using master's API key. Once client will attempt to log-in into slave, it will first check whether login details are valid for master. If login details are OK in master, but client does not exist in slave, AutoLoginShare will sync client data, and log client in. If login details are NOT OK in master, module will fallback onto local authentication (so your slave HostBills can have local customer base). Additionally AutoLoginShare can block customer registration on slave HostBill, so only master customers can log-in.

...

To update to newer version you will just have to repeat step 1 & 2, or check Auto-Update plugin built into your HostBill for one click updates.

MASTER API settings

...

After generating API key in your MASTER HOSTBILL→ adminarea → Settings → Security → API Access, you can limit ACL to two functions: getClientDetails & verifyClientLogin

Module Configuration

...

After activating your module in SLAVE HostBill you need to provide:

URL to your MASTER HostBill adminarea
API ID from your MASTER HostBill
API KEY from your MASTER HostBill
Optionally, you can disable client registration in SLAVE HostBill by enabling block_registrations
Tick Check for paid if you want to enable only the clients who had paid for something to login to your Master HostBill
