Deleting Users From External Database

If I delete a user from the external database, is it suppose to delete that same user in the WordPress database? If it doesn’t, I can see the External and WordPress user databases getting out of sync right?

External DB authentication disables some of my plugins

cursefake — Mon, 05 Dec 2011 11:02:18 +0000

Replies: 0

When this plugin is activated, when I log out and take a visit to my page as a guest. Most of my plugins such as “WP Sliding Login/Dashboard Pane” or “Executable PHP widget” are disabled. But once I log in, no matter what roles I am. All plugins just come back and works totally fine. I’ve searched through internet and found no hint about my problem. Any idea?

Thank you in adbvance :’)

[Plugin: External DB authentication] [Plugin: External DB Authentication] Another server connection

cursefake — Tue, 22 Nov 2011 21:13:06 +0000

I’d like to ask you if it’s possible to call a database that is located on another hosting server. Since I want my WP,which is located on a common hosting server, to access cloud server where a database of my customers are stored there.

I’ve tried to input several values in the Host label at the setting page but it seems doesn’t work properly. Do you have any suggestion?

eg. I’ve input mydoamin.com in the Host label and the server returned this to me

Warning: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: Unknown MySQL server host ‘www.mydomain.com’ (1) in /home/www/virtual/myWordpressdomain.com/wp/htdocs/wp-content/plugins/external-database-authentication/ext_db_auth.php on line 282

Thanks in advance ??

[Plugin: External DB authentication] phpass/bcrypt based passwords

jk3us — Thu, 06 Oct 2011 16:40:39 +0000

Replies: 1

We use phpass to store our passwords encrypted with bcrypt-style hashes. I don’t think there is a way to authenticate against those with the plugin (correct me if I’m wrong).

The addition of this feature would be great.

moodle-1.9-user table for authentication?

I failed getting the plugin running with the moodle user table ??

WP version: 3.2.1
Moodle version: 1.9.12

All external db settings are correct (‘dbtype’, ‘dbhost’, ‘dbname’, ‘dbuser’, ‘dbpass’ from the moodle config.php)
the usertable is set to ‘mdl_user’ (standard settings from a moodle-installation)
encryption method: I’ve tried MD5 and SHA1 as well as ‘other’ with the additional hash code $password2 = md5($password.’salt_phrase_from_my_moodle-config.php’);

found the following articles/forum posts, but it’s still not working ??

[Plugin: External DB authentication] phpBB3 support

Sam Salonen — Sun, 28 Aug 2011 20:02:32 +0000

Replies: 0

First of all a big thanks for a perfect plugin! But the big question is; will there be support for phpbb3 auth? As phpbb3 is using their own auth method the plugin is not capable of authing against a phpbb3 db. For me this featur would be a gift from heaven, and I suppose I’m not the only person whom would love to be able to smoothly use a phpbb3 installation as the userdb for WP.

Login problem with new user creation

Sat, 07 May 2011 20:46:35 +0000

Replies: 4

When I test this in WP 3.12, I can get the whole ext DB authentiation process to work in terms of plugin configuration – but I cannot resolve a strange problem…

When logging in as a new user (one that is in the ext DB but the WP user table) – after entering username/password and logging in the login screen reloads with an extra message below:

User registration is not available from this site, so you can’t create an account or retrieve your password from here. See the message above.

and I have to login again.

Surely this is not working right ?

A new user should not have to login twice.

Please help

I am 99.9% there with my WP setup – except for this one small issue

[Plugin: External DB authentication] Email address needs to be compulsory?

dstratton — Sun, 16 Jan 2011 08:46:23 +0000

Replies: 0

When the user that has been validated against the external database is created by the plugin (calling wp_insert_user) the process will fail if an email address has *not* been retrieved from the external db.

This is because wp_insert_user creates a blank email address at line 140 in the absence of one from the db. If there are other blank emails in WP the “email already exists” check will then fail and hence the login.

The safest way to fix this appears to me to be to force the reading of an email address from the external db (in my case drupal)

Thanks for a very useful plugin though

[Plugin: External DB authentication] User Roles

doub1ejack — Tue, 28 Dec 2010 20:53:44 +0000

Replies: 0

So it looks like this plugin will only acknowledge a single user role right? You can set up a single test in the plugin settings, but no more. However I have a variety of users on my site with my own hierarchy of roles. I would like to map my user’s roles to the Word Press roles.

This isn’t currently possible is it?

I’ve been tinkering with wp_usermeta table in the database, but I’m having a hard time figuring which fields control the user’s role. There’s wp_capabilities (a serialized array I don’t understand yet) and wp_user_level that both look relevant. But I still haven’t been able to convert a subscriber to an administrator so maybe I’m still missing something? Any ideas?

[Plugin: External DB authentication] External DB and Login question

baileyhaven — Thu, 09 Dec 2010 20:10:24 +0000

I have an external form and database set up for users to complete. Upon, completion three fields are rolled over into my external DB (name,email,password). The password is generated randomly from the script I have written. On the final Thank You page of that form I will put a link that will send the user directly to my WordPress site.

My question: I would like to use my external randomly generated password and email fields for future logins into my WP site. I’m new to this plugin. Can External DB Authentication help with this. There isn’t much support on how to make it work. If so, how?

Not exactly sure why this would work and then fail but would appreciate any assistance.

[Plugin: External DB authentication] WordPress 3.0 compatability?

I’m in the process of setting up a few blogs using WP 3.0. The latest version I see that this plugin works for is 2.7. Is this current version of the plugin compatible with 3.0? If not, will there be an update in the near future?

I really want to use this plugin as it will likely solve almost every login issue I will run into, but I don’t want to spend hours trying to make it work when it’s already know that it won’t.
