Hi,

I have upgraded today to Joomla 3.2 and there seems to be a conflict with the new "strong passwords". I give you an example to test it:

1) Register a user (with standard Joomla Registration, not Social Login) with username test and password 1234
2) Activate the user with the email link
3) Login to the site - everything works - Password in the DB looks like this: $2y$10$EJvmmkYbEh5RGyf4c1VV/O8bRK/SU8D3iSd7.xSX/DEwrZ4JkNbWS
4) Logout and In again, everything stays the same
5) Now Logout and press Facebook Login (the user now gets matched with his mail address and is automatically logged in).
6) However, the password in the DB now looks like this: $2y$10$pV3GlaG2a1Xug5iLiLboluwtYKCx3Y0fC4iCQpxfUrn0C9iSrmKiq
7) Login is only possible with social login not with password (because the password has changed).

Now when I delete the user and start again:
1) Press Facebook Login and fill out the form (again username test, password 1234) to create a Joomla User via sourcecoast
2) Social Login works, the password I provided in the form is not correct.

So I guess you are handling the Passwords not in the right way for Joomla 3.2 - I hope you can provide a quick fix!

Best Regards Michael

Thanks for notifying us of that issue. We're investigating the changes we may need to make. We've done a lot of testing with Joomla 3.2, but most of it has revolved around our authentication.

For now, can you go to the Plugin Manager and click into the User - Joomla plugin. In there, set "Strong Passwords" to "No" and test again.

The default is for strong passwords to be enabled in 3.2, and it looks like we need to update our code to make sure we're generating the passwords the correct way now.

Sorry for the trouble,
Alex

Thank you for the quick reply! Unfortunately, when I disable strong passwords even the standard Joomla Login does not work... So switching back is no real option. I hope you can find a fix.

Michael,
Whew! Very sorry for the delay. Lots of testing and investigation to see how to fix this best. The issue is actually a bug in Joomla 3.2.0. It's a very simple, 1-line fix, described below. Unfortunately, due to the bug's nature, there really is *no* way we can work around this in our code.

Fix removed. Implemented in JFBConnect v5.2.0. Previous versions of JFBConnect have this, and other, issues on Joomla 3.2 and it's recommended to upgrade to get all the updates.

Please test and let me know how that goes. There's actually a separate bug we found with Joomla when you've disabled the "Use Strong Encryption" setting. That's on by default, but if you want to disable it, let us know and we can give you the other fix as well.

I hope that helps, but please keep us posted on what you find,
Alex

Directly after we posted that, we had a bit of an epiphany on how to work around this in our code. We're going to slip it into the v5.2 release, due out today and hopefully still going to make it. The code above is still correct and shouldn't conflict with what we're planning... but wanted to let you know that the v5.2 release shouldn't need that change.

Thanks,
Alex

Fantastic! Thanks for the confirmation. We also have pushed out the 5.2 version, which does work around the problem as well.

As always, let us know if you run into anything else, and thanks for your feedback!

Hi, Alex.
I managed to solve with your information, but I have another problem, I configured ACL for the administrator can register users with access level "registered", but in this case the error back, and I can only register as a new user "super user" .

Sorry, I'm using google translator.

Your issue sounds very different to the one posted above. Users are always created under the 'default' Joomla user group with JFBConnect. There is no way to have the user created as Super User, so I'm not sure how that's happening.

Can you confirm that you're using JFBConnect v5.2.0? If not, please let me know what version you're using.

Also, please post from the account you subscribed to JFBConnect from, and we'll gladly help however we can.

Thanks,
Alex
