I spent hours with the following error. I share this solutionso it might help other users too
Problem: After Creating a portal user, the user can not login on the Joomla portal page because of “Unknown user, or not registered user…” but the user is insert into the Joomla user database
in Joomla DB the password fot the user looks like this
bdc112dc912c072ffdf3222e847146a8 (md5)
but has to be like this
$2y$10$t3ZM./R3Cq5f0IWyIhDtN.Ch5amOLf3Pbt8SxX43C8N… (md5)+HASH !
SuiteCRM - Created a portal user with auto generated password.
User get an eMail with user name and password. If he try to login in on the Joomla portal site it fails “User unknown or not registered”
If u can see the user in the joomla database table u will find out that a hash tag is not given but required by Joomla
To solve that problem open config.php and set up password strength from default ‘minpwdlength’ => 6, to ‘minpwdlength’ => 8
Then create a New Portal User (disable Portal user and enable it again has NO influence on the joomla account in Joomla! - crappy coded!) .
Every new user can now login with the automatic generated Password.
I hope it helps u
