Use userdata in external software

**Mutschas** · Apr 27th 2018

Hello,

i want to use the userdata in an external software, programmed in php.
I need access to the user-loginname, the user-loginpassword and the userdata like name, address etc.

Yes i could just select the entry of the database, but the password is crypted. How can i do a login from an external php-script?
Is there any API?

Thanks.

Passwords should never be saved as plaintext in your database. As there are algorithms specifically designed for password hashing and we have seen so many breaches, they should be used by every sane programmer.

I know about this file. But this is not what i mean.
I want to do the login from another programm. Like fo example from an other vhost.
But if i should use this file, the vhost should have access to this file too.

You should be able to implement your own login routine by analyzing the above mentioned code.

Can someone tell me, how to use imscp-code in an other php-script? I don't think, that i only can include the two files you linked above?
