I'm working about Joomla-Converge integration system.
I understood converge autologin user on all application, when is logged in on one of this, isn't it ? if not, is it possible to autologin on all other application automatically (I don't want users to make 2 auth to move from site to forum)

They are, but only if the apps are on the same domain, generally. Converge calls out to each application upon user login to notify them, so it is possible (in theory) the application can handle this, even if it's on a separate domain, however none of our products are capable of that.

I'm on the same domain..... How can I dispatch to all other application a user is logedin on my "custom" application ?
I found an undocument function called "convergeAuthenticate". Is that function dispatch that event ?
I also discover ALL "reverse" function are undocumented... after some research on IPB Forum code, I found it and I implement it on my custom application.... is it possible to have the complete documentation ?
Do you also think IPB Forum may support in future this "autologin" on the samedomain ? (by cookie) I do it on Joomla, why you can't do the same on your application ?

another problem.....
Converge isn't usefull to Invision... all Invision application is already integrated hardcoded.... This product is usefull to integrate login of different product, like Joomla or others.
But, this converge version isn't usefull... I found some problems during my coding:
- user login on forum or third application correctly, but isn't logged on converge site (VERY IMPORTANT FEATURE) and also on all other applications (IMPORTANT)
- user logged on converge and DIRECTLY go to forum, isn't logged.... is required to click on the link into converge
- documentation is almost useless. All "inverse" documentation is missed (third application change email/password or delete member)
Thanks for your help

IP.Converge in its current state is not a Single Sign-On (SSO) system. It's a centralized login repository so that one set of credentials can work across multiple Converge-enabled applications. Its use is much like that of
OpenID. You're thinking of Converge as a SSO system and that's not what it is. This may be the future and what IPS intends to do with it in the long-term, but the functionality just isn't there.
I agree that the documentation is scarce. If you're looking for the Converge Master Server documentation, it doesn't exist. I requested info on this in another topic, and bfarber kindly pointed me in the right direction. That topic is
over here.
Good luck.

I hope Converge is SSO now... When user login on converge site, will be automatically logged in on all site (remote applications send cookie to converge system). The only feature needs is the reverse autologin FROM one of remote application to all others.
The last problem (I'm trying to make a little patch) is the autologin of IPB Forum.
That is impossible with STRONGLE cookie autenthication... with this feature off, I hope will can do something to made it.
