use own user table for authentication instead of Flarum's created user table..

arsh302

Hello everyone......
I want to add this Flarum forum in my own laravel application version 5.1, But problem is that, i have already created user table for authentication, which handles 3 types of user(super admin, sub admin and students),
So my question is that, how use my own users table.

arsh302 you can't, unless you do some major hacks with Flarum core. For one the users table of Flarum has a token field required to authenticate users, you'd either need to support that in your own User class or do some other magic to get it working.

You might be able to use the Api of Flarum to authenticate/sign up etc. As Flarum is still in beta little thought has been given yet to open up on such a scale.

luceos how i can create a API extension for my own user tables to use in this script?

My User Table -> Session Started User -> API -> Create new user to Flarium Table Reading my User Table

I would recommend using a system like OAuth or SAML (which is supported by Flarum extensions) for identity management instead. If you are determined to create your own SSO system, Flarum supports this, but as each case is distinct, you might need to hire a developer to build that extension. A starting point would be taking a look at source code for existing SSO extensions.

askvortsov Why Flarum is not allowing modification target user database?
My script have a password + salt system and i want to clone my users to this script on my own host.
I tryed registering from my script to Flarum with HTML POST method (i think is not safe.) but im failed.

Not entirely sure what you're asking here: flarum does not in any way restrict / change permissions on the database it writes to.

askvortsov Sorry about my English. Is very bad.
Just i want:

I already have a "users" table and its have 50+ users,
I just want use this accounts to Flarum script without re-creating account

"Login with MyScript and disable Flarum register form?"

askvortsov

Ah I see. What you are proposing is possible, but a lot more complex than it seems. There is no easy/automatic way to do this. You will need to write a custom extension, or hire a developer to write a custom extension. And at that point, I would recommend looking into integrating OAuth/SAML/etc into your main website, as that will be easier to maintain later on.

askvortsov very thank you for your reply <3
I think hire a deleoper for creating API extension. This page is helpfull for a developer better than me about PHP? : https://api.flarum.dev/php/v0.1.0-beta.10/Flarum/User.html or whitch page is better?
