# before_adminlogin
Admin is attempting to log in. You can use this hook to authenticate admin against external database/auth service. To do so, after successful auth, simply return admin id that HostBill should log in. ie. return 10; //login admin with id=10 (hb_admin_access.id=10). If admin has provided wrong credentials – don’t return any value – this way HostBill will fall-back to its internal authentication methods. Return value below 0 to indicate error/block HostBill login
# Hook parameter
An array is passed to hook containing following keys/values (note: if you have custom registration fields they may differ):
| Key | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
username | string | Admin-provided username |
password | string | Admin-provided password |
