hector-identity-ee is an ExpressionEngine 2.x identity adapter for Hector.

Installing and configuring hector-identity-ee is simple.

Clone hector-identity-ee to system/expressionengine/third_party/hector, then enable it by navigating to Add-Ons > Extensions.

The extension will generate safe usernames and passwords in the exp_members.hector_username and exp_members.hector_password columns for all existing and future members. A user should log in to Hector using his or her hector_username and hector_password.

You can display the currently logged in user's Hector credentials in a template using {exp:hector:username} and {exp:hector:password}. To display a particular member's Hector username or password, add a member_id parameter: {exp:hector:username member_id="16"}.

Install the hector-identity-ee gem and navigate to your server:

$ gem install hector-identity-ee
...
$ cd myserver.hect

Create config/expression_engine.yml:

database:
  host: mysql.myserver.com
  username: hector
  password: s3cr3t
  database: expression_engine
  prefix: exp # optional, defaults to "exp"

Optionally limit logins to members of specific groups by adding a groups key:

groups:
  - 1 # Admins
  - 6 # Moderators

You can connect Hector to hector-identity-ee by modifying init.rb in your server's directory:

require "hector/ee_identity_adapter"
Hector::Identity.adapter = Hector::ExpressionEngineIdentityAdapter.new
