-

-
Git clone this project
git clone https://github.com/nextcloud/user_sql.git

Integrations
WordPress
Thanks to this app, NextCloud can easily integrate with Wordpress.
In the Column Setting of SQL User Backend, configure it as
Table: wp_users
Username Column: user_login
Password Column: user_pass
Encryption Type: Joomla > 2.5.18 phppass
Features
Currently, it supports most of postfixadmin's encryption options, except dovecot and saslauthd. It was tested and developed for a postfixadmin database.
Password changing is disabled by default, but can be enabled in the Admin area. Caution: user_sql does not recreate password salts, which imposes a security risk. Password salts should be newly generated whenever the password changes.
Supervision can be enabled under supervisor settings. Supervision allows one specified user to login into any account. Use supervisor username and target username separated by ';' to login as target user using supervisor's password (ex. superuser;user).
The column autocomplete works only for MySQL and PostgreSQL database which is used to validate form data. If you use other database use occ command to set the application config parameters with domain suffix.
For example to set 'sql_hostname' parameter in default domain use:
occ config:app:set user_sql 'sql_hostname_default' --value='localhost'

- sql_hostname
