Remote User Account Creation

[jarek.prorok]

Hello,

I need to create remotely a batch of new user accounts through a back-end service. In order to do so, I see two possibilities, of course besides the manual account creation.

1. over HTTPS method POST with parameters auth_token, email, username and password. Problem that auth_token is generated on the server side and is not accessible. Couldn't find anything described in the APIs'. Is there a way of acquiring a temporary auth_token or inserting directly into database for the temporal use?

2. inserting data directly into the database, passwords already hashed and couldn't see the place where is it stored, anybody knows the table name/column name, or suggest some procedure how to insert directly into the database, a fully generated user account? SQL insert statement, hashing algorithm, location in the DB etc details...

Please give me your feedback or ideas!

Best Regards,
Rihards

To do this you should create an custom API in Chevereto (app/routes/api-custom.php for example) and set a simple API key access + only accept request from certain server/IP. Then you only need to use the built-in methods to do what you need. For instance CHV\User::insert(); insert a row in the chv_users table, CHV\Login::addPassword() adds a hashed password in the database (chv_logins table) and so on. All methods are there just look for them.
