I am wanting to create a link from an external website that will automatically log in to the content server as a specific user. Is this possible with api - I am trying to link from a moodle website using php5. My users already log into to Moodle and I want to avoid them having to log into TCS to see their videos. I need the api to pass a specific log in and I need to be able to change the log in from course to course. I would appreciate any help or code examples.

Hi Emma,
Unfortunately this is not possible with the Content Server API.
If you were using windows domain authentication to authenticate your Moodle users then an unsupported workaround would be to enable "single sign on" in the IIS configuration on the Content Server. In this scenario your users will automatically be authenticated when they access the TCS web interface assuming they have already provided their credentials to Moodle.
Alternatively, you could use the API to acquire the list of conferences for a particular user and provide the streaming URL to a player that you have added to Moodles interface.
Hope that helps!
