External Database Authentication Reloaded
Please Note: When you update to version 1.2.1, you will need to re-enter the details on the settings page. This External DB Authentication plugin allows the use of an external MySQL, PostgreSQL, MSSQL, Sybase, Oracle, or SQLite database for authentication into WordPress. It is required that you know the encryption method for the passwords stored in the external database. Password encryption methods include MD5, SHA1, plaintext, PHPass, or enter a custom hash/salt method. It disables password reset/retrieval and account creation within the WordPress system on the user-end, and it doesn’t allow updating from the WordPress end back into the external authentication source. In addition to authentication, the plugin allows you to: Choose additional fields, such as first name/last name and website, to be imported into WordPress. Enter a custom message for users concerning logins. Do user role checks from the external database: you can set the plugin to check from a specific role field and compare to a value to allow login to WordPress.

Prestashop User Compatibility
This plugin will allow you to automatically rehash the passwords of users you have beforehand imported from a Prestashop database to your WordPress database. This is useful if you are migrating a website from Prestashop to WordPress. It allows users to authenticate via their email address, like on a Prestashop installation. Upon login, the plugin will check the password entered by the user, against the value stored in the database. Using the COOKIE_KEY of the former Prestashop installation, it’ll verify if the password is correct and, only in that case, it’ll rehash the password using WordPress’ default hashing algorithm and insert the new password to the database. Then it’ll try logging in. In every other case, login will function normally, so if there is an error, it’ll be returned. In a while, every former Prestashop user you have imported to your WP DB will have their passwords securely rehashed. First tested successfully with Prestashop 1.3.5 and WordPress 3.6. Lately tested successfully with Prestashop 1.5.6.1 and WordPress 3.9.
