Hi All,

My question is there a way for me to create third party application specifically PHP(Web Based) to create simple login(Username, Password) customer could use to see their points and other loyalty rewards.

I was able to connect PHP and Nav and view particular information using web services (SOAP).

in which create web form like login

My problem is how to perform login operation that use the customer card entity data using PHP

if you have sample code or blog or resources please include. Thank you

Do you want to authenticate those external users by NAV tools, e.g. go you want those external users to connect to NAV using standard NAV license when they login? I suppose there might be quite many of those simultaneously and thus it can be expensive solution. Another option is to develop a separate web application that would interact with the SQL database and you will need to have non-NAV functionality of users authentication.

Hi Alexander,

Thanks for the reply.

I will be using ls retail for this just for member management loyalty

Its like a customer loyalty web application. the concept is

1. user login (username and password)

2. redirect to user dashboard with POINTS and Voucher which fetch from microsoft nav

Currently already manage to fetch data from microsoft nav using web services SOAP. im using PHP as mg backend

my concern right now is how to create a login web page which i can show customer points and other membership loyalty available from ls retail member management.

If you have any idea or sample application please let me know. badly need this project

Thank you

Since the customers are using the web applicaiton but not Actual NAV users you need to customize NAV to achieve this, you could provide the username as the customer NO. in the navision and add a new field on the customer card to hold the password, that way you can use the webservices on NAV to query that customer and authenticate. It is more of like forms authentication in Web.

Hi Suresh Kulla,

Thanks for the idea. I will look into this.

So I will use php for authentication based on customer card with password and customer NO. as username. Is that what you mean?

Do you have any sample code for this or resources?

Thank you

Yes, I don't have a specific example for this scenario. But the idea is you will expose thecustomer card page as web service and retrieve it based on the username if you find the record you will check against the password field, if not you will throw authentication error.

This is an example to retrieve customer and there are many other examples how to read the data.
