Inactive [ADMN/SEC] AuthDB v2.3.6 - Database authentication and protection [1.1-1.4.5]

Oops! Sorry about that, somehow the database field was removed when we updated the config file. The database name option is above the prefix now. The setting also defaults to minecraft_forum if it's not present.

Re-download and replace all please.

Still no database field in config file.

I think you got an @contex 's mirror haha... his internet had issues right as I send him the updated version. One more try as I have changed all the mirrors to mine currently until he gets back. Sorry about that!

That was my fault, as I was uploading the new zip my computer crashed. It should be fixed now.

Sorry if I should have seen it somewhere, but did you add the option to use /login username password? I can't use the plugin before that is possible, since many of my players don't use the same name at the forums

No, sorry, but we can add that in the next version. For now, players can only login with the player name they are under.

That would be great!

Any idea how soon next version will be out?

I'll test it. If I like it like I always did, watch your paypal bucket. I don't have much to offer since my server is not making money, but I can understand a small amount can make a difference

Trying to fix it as we speak.

@contex is looking into it right now.

Edit: He beat me to it!

2.0.1:
Jar: http://craftfire.com/get/AuthDB/jar/
Zip: http://craftfire.com/get/AuthDB/zip/

Changes?
Enabling to login with /login username password
Added the option to use database name (was missing)

I have an issue. When I try to run he says:
00:05:14 [SEVERE] com.mysql.jdbc.exceptions.jdbc4.MySQLSyntaxErrorException: Table 'minecraft.phpbb_users' doesn't exist.

Doesn't it automatically make the table? And IF we need to make it. How can I make it? (which coloms etc.)

Are you using a custom database table or a script such as phpBB? If you are using a custom, set enabled: true under custom. If using a script, what version are you setting the version: to?

The table does NOT get created automatically. This is something we could add in a future version. It utilizes whatever you already have in place.

You need to make sure that you are using the correct password encryption too if you are using a custom database. AuthDB currently support MD5 and SHA1 for custom database password encryption.

I don't have a database yet. I'm starting my server small. And when I get more people I'll start a forum. So I don't have a database yet. Do you know a link how I can make the collums for phpBB 3? Or should I google it myself?
(or can you implent it (A))

You could just install phpBB 3.0.8 and not give anyone the URL to your forums. That way you can already have those users in the database for future use! This would certainly make things easier for you later.

Well, I thought there was an easy way. But I'll give it a shot tomorrow! Thanks for your quick reply's

We will probably be adding your idea of creating the database. @contex likes the idea and certainly wants to try it. So stay tuned! Might have something for you today or tomorrow if want to have a simple user database created automagically.

Wow! That would be totally superfreaking awesome! I really like this quick-reply's and user-added features. Keep up the good work!

You are most welcome! We hope to keep it up! No, we can't make the pigs fly though.

2.0.2:
Jar: http://craftfire.com/get/AuthDB/jar/
Zip: http://craftfire.com/get/AuthDB/zip/

Changes?
Fixed issue with optional usage stats not reporting.

Just adding onto what was said before about salts; but what about the ability to provide a salt or 2 in the file or through column's in the table. And where to place them(like before or after).

Higher encryptions would be great too(SHA512 for instance).

There will be a salt option added soon as we were planning to add that, but haven't finished it yet.

Support for other encryptions are planned too.

Will add that in the next version, also SHA512 is ready to go, just forgot to add it. Any other encryptions you want me to add?

What about adding the option to use this without any scripts (phpBB3, MyBB etc.)?
At the moment I am using Authorize, but I think this is better than Authorize, isn't it? ^^

I'd like to use this plugin now, and later I could switch to phpBB3 or anything else. But I don't have time to set up a forum for now..

What do you think about this?

You can use this with a custom database, IE. just a plain table with username and password that you made yourself.

Okay, I'll try this. Thanks.

I must be a dumbass but what are the settings for vb 4.1 I know my MySQL connection information but what are the script settings?

Core:
plugin:
debugmode: false
usagestats: true
script:
name: phpBB
version: 3.0.8

God damn! Write a little FAQ or something! Its really difficult to understand to how its working.
Just select the type of forum, then write a config to forum SQL and thats all?

usagestats: true - what is this?

It's not your fault, we haven't gotten the updated documentation out yet. The script settings are for connecting to your forum or CMS script to allow that database of users to login. You put the script name (one of the ones we support), followed by it's version. We currently only support the versions we have personally tested as we are not sure if the password encryption and MySQL database fields are the same for older versions.

Haha, we are working on it! We are working on a configuration tool to simplify things as well as documentation.
Basically all you need to do in the config is enter your database information under database and the script name and version under script. The rest of it is extra features that can be enabled or disabled based on your preference such as the customizable bad characters filter. We will work on getting the documentation up to describe things more, but feel free to ask questions in the mean time and I will try to answer promptly if I am here.

As described in the Changes page that is linked in the first post, it is an "option to report usage stats to devs (CraftBukkit build, AuthDB version, script name and version, server IP, port, name, OS version and CPU architecture, other plugins installed, players online, and max players)." It's enabled by default and is completely optional. Just set usagestats to false if you do not want to utilize it, but we'd appreciate it if you did. It's mainly part of the backend we thought about to make things easier to assist users with issues later down the line and to see how our plugin is used so we can focus on certain upcoming features if needed.
