I’ve installed SuiteCRM and Joomla on a local development environment with AOP active. After clicking the Create Portal User action, I get the error message “Failed to create portal user”.
Current state of affairs:
SuiteCRM and Joomla environments can ping each other
Thank you for posting this, it pointed me in the right direction and I was able to find the bug.
After logging the password that was passed to the authentication function, I realized it was the wrong MD5 hash. On the AOP settings page on Joomla, I changed the password, yet the hash in the Joomla database stayed the same. Updating the password only is broken. To update the password, I had to also update the username at the same time. This caused the hash to update on the database. After that, a portal user was successfully created and all is now working.
Where can I post this bug? I’d like to save others the frustration I faced.
You can also propose a Pull Request for a fix if you find the time. But I am not sure if the Portal code is in that repo, so if you don’t find it, it’s likely a separate project… and in that case I don’t think it’s on GitHub.
