是否可以使用asp classic来使用wordpress用户数据库进行身份验证？

Question

I have two separate sites on our company's network. One is a Wordpress site running PHP on IIS and MySQL. The other is on another server running classic asp. I want to know if I can use classic asp to authenticate a user for the asp site against the wordpress user database. Not to give the user access to the wordpress site, but to control access to the classic asp site.

Fr instance: The user would get a login page on asp classic. They would enter the credentials that they use on the wordpress site. Asp classic would check the credentials stored in the wordpress site and if the password and username match, grant access to the asp pages.

If it is possible, it would keep the user from having yet another set of usernames and passwords to keep track of and also leverage the built in wordpress password management functions.

Thanks for any advice.

Answer 1

Wordpress passwords are hashed in the database - so you'll need to replicate this in ASP.

You'll probably need to delve into the wordpress codebase to find the algorithm and keys (which you can find in the config file)
