Pulling member login info for other application

[altomajo]

Hi,

Thank your for the great plugin. You guys have and are doing an amazing job at making our life easier ! I have the following issue that I am trying to solve.

I would like to pull my members user names and passwords to synchronize/replicate the member info in the WP eMember database with another web application to which my members will have access in the future. I basically want to check that my users have the right, based on their membership level, to connect to the new web application.

I figured a way to pull the password from the WP eMember db but it is (and this good) encrypted. Is there a way to send it through php with the encryption key or to extract it so that I can replicate the information in my other web application ?

Thanks,

Jean

If your other web application is something that works with standard WordPress user roles then this might be a better option?

Thanks for the answer. Unfortunately my other web application is being developed with Drupal, so we are not using WordPress users…

Ah I see… the password is kept in the database using a md5 encryption (its a one way encryption). So there is no way to know the real password (this is the intended behavior for security reasons).

What you can do is, on your other application you just use this password. Just know that this is the md5 encrypted value of the actual password… so when you are trying to do a match with the password entered by the user you will need to run the “user entered password” via the md5 encryption then check for a match.

Hi, sorry for the late reply. Yes after thinking about it, this is what I am going to do.

Thank you
