Hi all,
I'm trying to embed gallery in a project I'm creating from scratch, a sort of CMS...
I have a login/pass authentication method with cookies and sessions support.
What I'd like to do, is to login in my app, and gain access to gallery resources too.
If, for example, I login as admin in my app, I'd like to be able to manage my gallery too, without double logging in also into the gallery.
To do this, I think I need something to set sessions into the gallery database (or at least map my app sessions into a new gallery session to be created at login time) but this feature seems to not exist or not to be documented...

Any help?
Thanks

you need to map your users with g2's users (ExternalIdMap) and you need to create a small wrapper script which starts G2 with your authenticated userId.

this is described at development -> embedding.
