Thanks, I’ll have a look and I’ll let you know if this works for us.
Having a double authentication is fine as long as security isn’t a concern at the end.
I’m not technician enough to get this done all by myself, I can only encourage other bright minds.
Cheers.
Good news is you’re on the right path apparently.
If you need any help I’d be happy to contribute with some testing.
Hi,
sorry for the late reply, but the instruction given to me were not all the clear, I apparently was looking for a solution that wasn’t the one that would work for us.
To sum up the info I have, user authentification will not rely on BBpress authentification, but on our own user table (login and password) called by a simple htaccess file.
AuthUserFile /home/login/.htpasswd
AuthGroupFile /dev/null
AuthName "Private"
AuthType Basic
<Limit GET POST>
require valid-user
</Limit>
So our users will not need to register a new account to get access to BBpress (that is intended to be private only) and they’ll just use their existing account.
We might use cookies to allow easy naviguation between BBpress, WordPress and the login page (that will contain a load of other things)
I haven’t seen any tips on wordpress forum either. Maybe my eyes were not wide open at the time ?
Can it simply be done without rewriting the whole login process ?
Reinstall did the trick for the other user.
I looked in the MySQL table and surely enough, the password were MD5 encrypted…
But still, resetting the password DOES NOT WORK. My email is correctly set, BBpress is functional, but as the owner I don’t seem to be able to change my password because I never receive any email from BBpress…
Interestingly, it seem to work for other users.
Maybe something is wrong with the mail server ? Just guessing…
