This plugin for Joomla 1.5 let authenticate users against an external MySQL database. The plugin is fully configurable by Admin area where the host, port, database, table, username column, password column, first name column, last name column and email column can be configured. If the password at remote site changed, then you will be able to login by using that new password

Added new password types by rashan, June 30, 2008
The latest release (0.9) now supports both plain text and SHA-1 type passwords.

This plugin may be still in development so I only want to comment on a limitation I experienced, not to be critical.

The configuration of the module has a dropdown box to choose what kind of password is to be used. The only option is to use a MD5 hash of the password. I would have expected a plain text option as many apps use a plain text password for easier integration with other systems.

I hope the developer continues to develop a v 1.5 version of database authentication from an external MySQL db.


Owner's reply:

You may add them here OR at the Joomlacode project site (better).
