Lots of folks do this with the built in methods, no reason to pay. Have a look at the login screen, it will show you an example of how your authentication URL should look. Here's the idea. a) You setup a login screen. b) You use an authentication URL that points to your server. This URL will pass the user's id and password entered in the device. c) Your backend script validates the user, then returns a simple JSON snippet with the users name, email address, id, etc. Works great.

David, we all would love a howto, or perhaps this could be an added feature to BTv2.0. Fred

How to? If you look at the control panel for the login screen it shows the authentication url schema. Maybe you're asking how to output the JSON server-side to return to the phone? Lots of ways to do this. Sounds like a .PDF is needed...any takers? LOL

Just a clarification, I was thinking a uto user signup feature. The Login Screen is probably what the orginal post was about. Fred

I'll write the pdf if someone will help with the ''server-side to return to the phone? Lots of ways to do this.'' Fred
