Automate user registration

  • I’ve got a site that includes both a WordPress site and an ASP.NET application. They both have their own sets of users on different servers (the ASP.NET application uses Microsoft SQL Server – no changing it). When a user is created on the ASP.NET site, I’d like to be able to create the equivalent user with the same user ID, password, and email address. Is there a way for the ASP.NET site to navigate to the WP site and auto-fill the values on the register page, e.g. using a request string?

    I know there are other issues that I’d need to tackle (such as both sites updating each other when the user changes anything). I’d love to hear ideas for solving those problems as well.

    I’d love to be able to do all this without exposing the MySQL DB on the network.

    Thanks,
    David

  • David,
    Ddid you find a solution?
    I have a plan to host multiple domains on same site where use different application such as WORDPRESS, ASP 3.5 custome apps and maybe Jommbla. I want to use a common login. Can you share session information accross domains?

    Peace
    Fred

    We figured out that if you install the MD5 hash plugin and encode passwords in the ASP.NET application using MD5 then you can share the user and password information. I haven’t written the code yet to transfer the data between the two sites, though. I’d like all new users to go through the WordPress create user code so that any other plugins that are installed can see that a new user is being created. Sorry I couldn’t be more help.
