Title: External Database Authentication Reloaded Author: Joshua Parker Published: Novembro 5, 2012 Last modified: Majo 31, 2015 --- Priserĉi kromprogramojn Tiu ĉi kromprogramo **ne estis testita en la 3 lastaj gravaj eldonoj de WordPress**. Eble ĝi ne plu estas prizorgata kaj ĝi eble havus kongruajn problemojn en novaj versioj de WordPress. ![](https://s.w.org/plugins/geopattern-icon/external-db-auth-reloaded.svg) # External Database Authentication Reloaded De [Joshua Parker](https://profiles.wordpress.org/parkerj/) [Elŝuti](https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/external-db-auth-reloaded.1.2.3.zip) * [Detaloj](https://eo.wordpress.org/plugins/external-db-auth-reloaded/#description) * [Pritaksoj](https://eo.wordpress.org/plugins/external-db-auth-reloaded/#reviews) * [Instalo](https://eo.wordpress.org/plugins/external-db-auth-reloaded/#installation) * [Programado](https://eo.wordpress.org/plugins/external-db-auth-reloaded/#developers) [Helpo](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/external-db-auth-reloaded/) ## Priskribo _Please Note: When you update to version 1.2.1, you will need to re-enter the details on the settings page._ This External DB Authentication plugin allows the use of an external MySQL, PostgreSQL, MSSQL, Sybase, Oracle, or SQLite database for authentication into WordPress. It is required that you know the encryption method for the passwords stored in the external database. Password encryption methods include MD5, SHA1, plaintext, PHPass, or enter a custom hash/salt method. It disables password reset/retrieval and account creation within the WordPress system on the user-end, and it doesn’t allow updating from the WordPress end back into the external authentication source. In addition to authentication, the plugin allows you to: * Choose additional fields, such as first name/last name and website, to be imported into WordPress. * Enter a custom message for users concerning logins. * Do user role checks from the external database: you can set the plugin to check from a specific role field and compare to a value to allow login to WordPress. ## Ekrankopioj * [[ * Plugin config screen * [[ * Example login warning message upon access to wp-login.php * [[ * Example “Lost my password” retrieval attempt ## Instalo * Prepare your WP admin account on your external database: create an admin account in your external system. * Change “New User Default Role” in Settings->General, if desired, to whatever level of control you wish external authenticated users to have. * Upload `external-db-auth-reloaded` folder to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory * Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress * Enter your external database settings in Settings->External DB settings ## OD How do I use the “Other” encryption method? Sometimes you will need to use “Other” as an encryption method when all other methods do not meet your specific need. When you find yourself in this situation, you will need to add your own custom code into the “Hash Code” input field. You have access to the following variables: `$password2`, `$username`, `$password`. `$username` and `$password` are the info needed from your external database. Now let’s say for example I am using a system that combines the username and password and then hashes it with `md5`. In the “Hash Code” input field, I would need to enter the following custom code: ``` $password2 = md5($username.$password); ``` My admin account for WP doesn’t work anymore! We’re authenticating externally, right? Make sure the admin account username in the external source, matches the admin username in WordPress. Once it’s in there you’ll be able to log in as admin with no problems. If you can’t do this, delete the plugin and it’ll restore access using your WP admin account. Can I still create accounts within WordPress? You could, but they don’t work properly as it’s only checking the external database for login accounts. Can I update user information within WordPress? No. My external database’s passwords are hashed with a salt/datestamp/phases of the moon/etc Choose “Other” as your encoding method, then enter the method you use in the “Other” textbox as PHP code. If it involves more than the username and password, though, you may need to modify the plugin source code. I’m locked out! Delete or rename the plugin; if it’s a DB connection-related error most likely you have the wrong connection, etc. information for the external database. ## Pritaksoj ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/73859b13dc19adb2270f1f0915dcc7f803a79733afb190128c81fd6ce08e5365? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[This is awesome](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/this-is-awesome-79/)󠁿 [stevendbrady](https://profiles.wordpress.org/stevendbrady/) Aprilo 10, 2018 I used this plugin to authenticate my WordPress install (forum, trouble tickets, etc) to Midrub and it works perfectly.
