README

The authentication package provides a simple interface to authenticate users in a Joomla Framework application. It is completely decoupled from the application class and provides the ability to implement custom authentication strategies.

Installation via Composer

Add "joomla/authentication": "~3.0" to the require block in your composer.json and then run composer install.

{
	"require": {
		"joomla/authentication": "~3.0"
	}
}

Alternatively, you can simply run the following from the command line:

composer require joomla/authentication "~3.0"

If you want to include the test sources and docs, use
