joomla 2.5, user authentication - authentication

I am currently trying to work out a solution, how to make an authentication for my Joomla 2.5 website.
I did the log in form, and created test users, although I don't know how to access Joomla DB. Can you help me find a solution for my question. The answers I found on google, I didn't quite understand.
It would be really nice if someone would share some good tutorials.
Thank you in advance.

Joomla manages authentication for you via its user management and authentication system. It already provides you with a login form in fact ... but more importantly it provides you with authentication and user plugins that you can add your own to if you need something different. This is the point of using a CMS to have a platform that already provides you with secure and well tested user management among other thigns.

Try this , I think it will be useful to you,

How does the Plunker authentication work

All. Forgive me if my question is off topic or a dumb question.
I really want to know how to implement a authentication mechanist like GitHub for Plunker.
In my project.I think I have the same situation like this.
I have some websites like Plunker.
and I want to implement a SSO center authication website or services for all the other websites like GitHub.
when I click the button Sign in with GitHub in the Plunker. The website will open the new windows with the url
https://github.com/login?return_to=%2Flogin%2Foauth%2Fauthorize%3Fclient_id%3D7e377e5657c4d5c332db%26redirect_uri%3Dhttp%253A%252F%252Fplnkr.co%252Fauth%252Fgithub%26scope%3Dgist
When I succeed to login in GitHub. Then the Plunker will login with the authenticated user I just used in the GitHub.
My problem is I don't know how does the authentication works between the GitHub and Plunker.
Could someone please tell me something about it ? It will be appriciated. Thanks.
Plunker's "log in with GitHub" button uses OAuth2, an open standard for this kind of thing. It's the same technology used by Google for their sign-in with Google functionality, as well as many other providers.
Here is GitHub's documentation for adding "log in with OAuth" to your site.
Creating your own OAuth provider is a significant task, and one that you probably don't want to tackle without weighing carefully. If you do choose to go down this path you'll likely want to use an existing library for your language or stack of choice, e.g. perhaps something from this list. This is also good advice if you only plan to build an OAuth client.
As pointed out, Plunkr's login process appears to be using Github's OAuth2, but manages to pull it off on the client without redirects/reloads using window.open and postMessage. A detailed description of the technique can be found here. The demo code looks relatively painless.
The Gatekeeper project seems to be a more polished implementation (with node.js) of that idea and there is a detailed tutorial on doing client-side auth with it here.

Login to OpenERP from another website

After a lot of research, i coudn't find any useful information that could be of use onto my problem.
I am trying to create a login page that redirects to my website. After the user is logged in, that user has access to OpenERP and the whole website.
Any information is useful. I don't understand Python.
Thanks
i think you need top work out on openerp API Configuration
that will help you
You can use ldap kind of things openerp supports oauth2 check here

laravel 4 social with simple auth wrapper

I start using laravel (ver 4) and I got to the point I need to use authentication on my website.
I tried to find package that will allow me to wrap the all idea of "standard" / simple authentication and the social one (like facebook, google+ and etc..).
I found ion_auth and with some extensions it's allow me to use one authentication library for all kind of users - but it only works in codeigniter framework.
After a lot of research I couldn't find any ready package that allows me what I'm looking for, Does anyone familiar with such library or had this kind of issue and can tell me how he handle it?
This is a paid library, but it works pretty well. https://cartalyst.com/manual/sentry-social
i had a good experience using artdarek/oauth-4-laravel. it also has got a nice set of examples for using with different login providers.

google now integration on website for Websiteupdates in Google Now

I am working on some integrations for Google Now.
The Schemas for Email-Notifications are clear,...
But bow I am searching for integrating our Website-News as well.
(I always get "website update-cards from Ryanair on my GNow)
But I cant seem to find the right schemas for it,... I dont even know if it is done by schema-markup-micromarkup-whatever lol
Any help or idea?
Thank you lots

Okay I have been wondering this same question for a while and these are what I have found.
Google Now doesn't support my PHP site but it does support another Drupal site of mine.
The only page that Google Now provides integration is here: https://www.google.com/landing/now/integrations.html
I found that quite some of the supported websites have rss.xml on its root.
So here's what I recommend to do: (I'm still trying so I'm not certain if the following methods are worth trying)
Use Drupal or other well-known CMS in case Google Now only supports a few kinds of websites.
Go to that page and try to get in contact with Google. (I haven't got replies yet though)
Try to add an rss.xml on your site's root and add a link to it at your default page. (I haven't got time to try it yet)

How to use Single Sign On in a Vaadin application

I have a Vaadin 7 application that needs to use SSO (or a better kind of enterprise sign on method?) to authorize users through an LDAP directory. I also need to use groups or "roles" to differ between users and what they are allowed to access in my application. I am new to both login processes and Vaadin, and all I have right now is a working login form in my application that authorizes users against a fake "AD class" that I made myself.
So...
Where and how do I even start?
I read something about portlets and Liferay in this context. Is it even possible to achieve my goals without using Liferay or portlets?
Are there any good Vaadin addons that can help me with this? 
Can I use Spring security for this? (I am using xpoft SpringVaadinIntegration addon and I know it handles roles for example)...
If I sound lost, it's probably because I am. I will gladly read up on this, if I even knew where to start. Please help me chop this monolithic blob of confusion into smaller pieces =)
 
SSO with windows login only works in the intranet and it requires the use of kerberos or ntlm.
You can use a library like waffle to integrate things.
