What does it do?
----------------

This extension does/contains two things:

- Frontend user authentication service by the help of CRM Systems (e.g. 1CRM)
- CRM portal user frontend plugin (crm user management).

Authentication service
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

| This service checks by the (TYPO3) frontend user authentication (*felogin* plugin) that CRM contains the given user name and password.
| If the authentication is success, the service create or update the frontend user data in TYPO3 frontend user table.
| Only the CRM system stores the relevant password, the password in TYPO3 is a random created password and nobody knows it.
| With this solution the user can login with the CRM password only.

Frontend plugin
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

| With this plugin the frontend user can manage its CRM data on the TYPO3 website (contact and account data).
| In the plugin the user can see and change its CRM data. The data are stored always in CRM and not in TYPO3.
