Not working in 8.1.0

[flexxdesign]

Just confirmed that AutoAuth is not working in WHMCS version 8.1.0. The replacement is CreateSsoToken: https://developers.whmcs.com/api-reference/createssotoken/

Are you planning on modifying the module? It would be greatly appreciated!

Probably not, the issue is that the session only lasts for for 60 seconds.

Not very useful for this type of implementation.

I’d have to dig and look into the API and see if we can hook in other parts.

But I don’t think so, SSO is used to allow another login form to use the same user auth. Making it easier for users to login.

there’s no way to auth in an email.

they essentially kill this module.

As a security standpoint it’s also not ideal to keep a token that never expires in email.

RIP to this module.

Okay, that's a bummer! Thank you for the quick response!

[JonTheWong]

Yeah no problem, if I find an alternative method.

I’ll update this module with a link.

I'm a happy user of whmcs_autoauth for several years, but after upgrading to the latest WHMCS recently I realised that it was no longer working!

I've create a PR #17 to replace AutoAuth with CreateSsoToken. The 60 second token duration is no problem because it is generated at the time the customer hits the ?auth.php file. The previous email+secret key hash method is still used, so you don't need to change your templates.
