Neowin External Login Tool

[The_Decryptor Veteran]

What about performing searches, the current logged in user list, member details.

And, possibly posting reply's or new topics, but i honestly don't think that will happen.

If you expose all board functionality, I'll write an Avalon client on top of it!

[The_Decryptor Veteran]

Now that is a great idea!

i wonder how easy it is to write a VB frontend for this

[The_Decryptor Veteran]

If your talking about VB.NET, it would be easy, you would just have to add a web reference (or use the wsdl.exe sdk app)

if your talking about VB6, then your going to have to use the Microsoft SOAP toolkit, i cant help you with that.

hey is there an issue with the external login tool? I am receiving an error when trying to login with that.

Trying to log into Neorequest, getting

Warning: mysql_connect(): Access denied for user: 'neowin_mysql@localhost' (Using password: YES) in /home/neowin/public_html/login/index.php on line 10

Access denied for user: 'neowin_mysql@localhost' (Using password: YES)

[Tim Dorr Veteran]

Yeah, I'll fix it. One sec.

Edit: Fixed?

[Redmak Administrators]

That was my mistake , sorry :)

[+chorpeac MVC]

we might almost be there...

Here is the HTML being returned through the valid ticket call

"<br />\n<b>Warning</b>:  mysql_connect(): Access denied for user: 'neowin_mysql@localhost' (Using password: YES) in <b>/home/neowin/public_html/login/checkticket.php</b> on line <b>7</b><br />\nAccess denied for user: 'neowin_mysql@localhost' (Using password: YES)"

It looks like the authentication is working, but the html returning user info isn't yet.

problem fixed, thanks coders!

I know that this might break a lot of people's code, but most ticket systems also ask that the remote user to pass the IP address of the remote host back to the server - ie. you give them the ticket and the remote address.

This is really an attempt to prevent man-in-the-middle type attacks, so it probably isn't a great threat.. However, it is somewhat of a threat to be considered.

timdorr: This would make it much more like webauth on campus...

I get this, when I try to sign in :cry:

Username and/or password incorrect

I did my username and password right, I even login to the forum and it work :unsure:

thanks

Seems to work on Sietse's example.

Will the move to IPB 2.0 break this script, or do you guys plan on supporting this with the move?

[+chorpeac MVC]

it is currently working...after the upgrade

[Tim Dorr Veteran]

It's working with the legacy passwords, but it's going to have to be upgraded to work with the new password system. Luckily, that's not that hard, so I can get it done soon.

[blueshirt]

Nice. Very useful tool.

[Nelsinho]

simply fantastic, good job :)

[zachman123]

Any advice on how to use this sytem with cookies though....? We don't have the users password (So the cookie would be easy to copy), and some users would think the site was trying to steal your newoin pw if you asked them to choose a password.

[blackice912 Veteran]

One thing I noticed is that the script tends to cut member groups short. IIRC, "@ Subscriber" was "@ Subscrib".

Not that it's a problem, but I'd like to know if there are any other groups cut short. Even Mod/Admin/Coderator. Working on a special access section and protecting by either username (if their username is in the filter) or user group (if that user is in one of the certain groups).

[xxdesmus]

sweet work guys ;)

I wish i had some use for this :p

[Krudomanic]

I always wondered how you done that...

I have noticed one thing which probably been reported already and I'm probably wasting my time sat here typing away on my keyboard but, what the heck...?

If you log into the forum then go back to the main page you are logged in...?

Cache problem or somthing eles...

[Nelsinho]

hehe, I don't see this work before, I'm blind momentary LOL, great job (Y) :D

[galoosh33]

Sounds cool

[Trunten]

:turned: It looks just like the old login. :) You've done some good work. ;) This should come in very handy. :yes: Thank you for your contribution. (Y)
