Add users directly in SQL

Management and Administration

Hi

I’m setting up an emergy EMR for the covid-patients.
I need to add many users. I thought to be smart and was going to write directly in the mysql-DB.
I do an insert into ‘users’, ‘users_secure’ and ‘gacl_aor’.
I made my own salt and blowfish password for each user, based on the code of the openemr-project.
But… it doesn’t work when I do a login (No valid username or pass).
I guess still a problem with the acl? in which table should I add something else? Or another problem?
(No problems with creating blowfish hash or salt when testing manually).

Many thanks!
Pieter

Hi Pieter, that is a really interesting question.

If I recall correctly there are some length and complexity requirements for a username and password. The username and password might also need to be different. “Password does not meet minimum requirements and should contain at least each of the following items: A number, a lowercase letter, an uppercase letter, a special character (not a letter or number).”

When I use the add user prompt you need to be logged in as an admin and type your admin password. Maybe try setting the authorized value to 1 and see what happens? Also the calendar field you may want to set to 1 as well.

A good place to start might be to look into /openemr/interface/usergroup/usergroup_admin_add.php for clues.

It takes me to user_info_ajax.php. Which appears to call a function from $library/authentication/password_change.php"

Which led me to open file openemr/library/authentication/common_operations.php

So maybe try comparing the initializePassword function in it.

If you look at login_operations.php when login fails it generates several “newEvent” options. Can you check the logs?

Nevermind on the authorized value. I’m able to login without it.

After a new user added this way isn’t able to log in can you check the logs table in the database? When I type an incorrect password intentionally I see the below under the comments column: failure: 10.0.2.2. user password incorrect where 10.0.2.2 is the IP address I’m attempting to log in from.

A successful login looks like:
|19|2020-03-30 06:33:07|login|login|admin|Default|success: 10.0.2.2|NULL|NULL|1|NULL|NULL|open-emr|NULL|NULL|

Hi Rachel
Thx for the responses!
This is in the log:
failure: 81.240.22.101 (81.240.22.101). user not in group: Default
So, in which table do I need to a change? I can’t figure it out at the moment.

Problem solved.
You need to add a row into tables
-users
-users_secure
-gacl_aro
-gacl_groups_aro_map
-groups

Thx for the support!

Great, glad you were able to get this figured out. Maybe we should consider making it easier to batch add new users. I imagine doing it one at a time can get pretty tedious.

Feel free to ping the community on slack chat if you’d like to discuss further support for batch addititions of users.
