Currently, logins must happen twice - once against the Joomla codebase, and once against the Kitab codebase. Though they share the same user/password tables, they do not share session data.

The best way to integrate would be to extend the Authentication component of Kitab Al Shifa to use the Joomla framework API. Custom session code from the Kitab Al Shifa side that manipulates the Joomla sessions table is a non-option here, since it would be remarkably difficult, is not really necessary, and would require vigorous updating.
