You still have to send the encrypted password. Try copy and pasting the password directly from your _users database table from 1 database to another and see if it works. If it doesn't then what you're wanting can't be done without a special extension to do the password encoding.

tested and this work.. I looked what is encrypted user password of my main site and I set this password in my Action. Then when I updated profile (without changing password), this data is well sent in remote site and allow me to login. So is well a problem of encryption.

In that case how to do for send encrypted password instead cleartext ??

It's not encrypted on those triggers so you'd need to try and query for it using CB Query Field then substitute in the query result. You maybe better off using a Joomla multisite extension though. I think there's one that even works with CB, but I can't recall what it's called.

Ok I do that and this work well...even if I don't know if this method is very secure. Is probably not a good idea to send trough Post encrypted password (or even cleartext password) but I don't see another way. Maybe later I will install SSL in both site for be more quiet.

You maybe better off using a Joomla multisite extension though. I think there's one that even works with CB, but I can't recall what it's called.


I know these kind of Addon but I don't trust this stuff. At my opinion using this is the best way for get problem. I tried always to install the less possible stuff for keep my site the more light possible. Of course if one specific Addon is required and if no others solutions can be found no problem. But if I can find an alternative and use some tools already installed is better..and CB is really the most reliable and amazing "Swiss knife" for almost all situation ;)

Many thank for your terrific support
cheers

It's safer to send encrypted password than it is cleartext. The encrypted password is basically useless as it can't be reversed for anyone that may intercept it. Probably safer then logging in in general as logging in typically isn't SSL so instead of sending a plaintext password in post you're sending an encrypted one that can't be reversed. In short I think you're fine.
