One of our main goals with Tender is to provide a customer support tool with the simplest implementation possible. Between Single Sign-On, Lighthouse syncing, web hooks, and a wide array of open source tools, getting a support system up and running and in use for your team is a snap.

A few weeks ago, we set out to provide a number of tools to assist with implementing Tender’s Single Sign-On system for some popular systems. Sure, a seasoned developer can implement SSO relatively quickly, but it’s a huge win if you can get things rolling in as few steps as possible.

Naturally, we’ve decided to open source these tools. We’re a Ruby shop and as things advance within other systems or within our own, the tools available shouldn't have to wait on innovation. Being the bottleneck is never cool.

Announcing SSO integration tools for ExpressionsEngine, WordPress and Drupal:

ExpressionEngine SSO Add-On
http://devot-ee.com/add-ons/tender-support-sso/
http://github.com/entp/expression-engine-sso-plugin

Wordpress Plugin
http://github.com/entp/wordpress-sso-plugin

Drupal SSO Module
http://github.com/entp/drupal-sso-plugin

So here’s the deal...

If you're using ExpressionEngine, Wordpress, or Drupal, and sign up for a free 30 day Tender before September 2, 2010, just let us know (support@tenderapp.com) if you pick a paid plan and we’ll give you $25 credit on your Tender account.

Also, if you’ve got an Open Source project and want to use Tender for feedback/support or just to get a community going, let us know and we’ll hook you up with a free account.

    Hey there. I’ll be honest – I’ve never used Tender before, and I probably won’t have the need for it anytime soon. But that doesn’t mean I can’t drop in and give you a thumbs up for this announcement. It’s great to see you being proactive and forward-thinking with your service. Kudos!

    This is a very cool announcement .. BUT – no Joomla, guys? Really?

    Why no Joomla SSO?

    Very disappointed…...but hopeful….

    Joomla is easy, just stick in the template file :)

    To be honest, we have so much love from the Joomla community already, I figured there was already something in place and we just didn’t know about it.

    If someone has something, I’ll be more than happy to add it to the list.

    What great news!

    I am the author of a generic PHP Tender MultiPass library which has a lot in common with your implementations. I was wondering if it would make sense to integrate a shared library into these implementations – that way other platforms could benefit just as easily and quickly. What do you think?

    Coming from a non developer background, I am looking to move our online store to a new shopping cart but after now discovering how awesome Tender is I really want to include it as part of our site. Are there any shopping carts that would work with the single sign-on that tender offers?

    Very nice – we loved Lighthouse before moving to a custom solution, and have recommended it to a few other clients. Nice to see it getting a bit of love for ExpressionEngine!

    Now if you every do a SSO for Magento as well… :)
