Authenticate a customer

authCustomer checks a web login and password the way the panel login page does, without opening a session. Use it for your own portal or sign-in page: on success you get the IDs of the customer and of its web user. The web user must belong to a direct sub-customer of the authenticated customer; the root customer can check any web user.
