Is authentication possible with db and Oauth?

Post by Satusnovus »

I am now using db authentication and I would like to add Oauth authentication. If I select Oauth in settings and enter the keys, is db authentication still possible?

I assume that authentication with db is done with a username and password. Is authentication with Oauth an additional login option with Bitly, Twitter, Gmail and Facebook?

I just noticed the phrase at the settings:

Each OAuth provider requires a unique secret and key to authenticate with the remote server. These are supplied with the OAuth service when you register your website with them and must be entered exactly as supplied.
Any service that has not entered both key and secret will not be available for use by forum users. Note: the user can still register and log in via the DB authentication plug-in


I guess this will work out like I hoped :)
