2FA Setup Problem

[stoicprogrammer]

Hi,
I am experiencing difficulty during 2FA setup.

First of all my email setup works as expected. I have tested it before using 2FA.
2FA also works when this option is activated:

Code: Select all

"nuOutput2FATokenToConsole($token);     // For testing purposes, output the token to the developer console".

I can get a code and it works when I submit.


But when I activate this option:

Code: Select all

nuSendCodeByEmail($token);   // Send the token by email.

It says: "An email has been sent to the registered account. Subject = '".subject."' But I do not receive any code. I tested it on the globel admin account, and on user accounts,
I did not receive any code.


Am I missing something?

Note: when I looked in to system codes, both in nubilder4.sql file, and core system folder , I saw that there are several email sending methods such as built-in php mailing or using phpmailer. and as far as I remember general email set up uses different method than 2FA.

Hi,

The function nuGetEmail() retrieves the email address from the database. For now you'd have to enter the email for the globeadmin directly in the zzzzsys_user table or
modify the two functions nuGetEmail() and nuSendCodeByEmail() as follows in the nuAuthentication2FA procedure:

Code: Select all

function nuGetEmail($adminEmail = '') {
    $u = nuUser();
    $email = $u->sus_email;
    if ($email == null) $email = $adminEmail;
    return $email;
} 

function nuSendCodeByEmail($code) {
    $content = 'Your Code: '.$code;
    $subject = 'nuBuilder Authentication Code';
    $fromName = 'nubuilder';
    $sendTo = nuGetEmail('your_globeadmin_email@something.com'); // <-------------------- Replace with your "globeadmin" email address.
    nuEmailPHP($sendTo, $fromAddress, $fromName, $content, $subject);
    nuDisplayError("An email has been sent to the registered account. Subject = '".subject."'");
}

Kev1n,
I have finally figured it out.

I could not make this function work:

Code: Select all

nuEmailPHP()

Instead I used this function:

Code: Select all

nuSendEmail()

The final working code is:

Code: Select all

function nuGetEmail() {
    $u = nuUser();
    if ($u == "" ) return  "your_own_admin@email.com";       // your globe admin email here if you want 2FA for admin.
    return $u->sus_email;   // user email
} 

function nuSendCodeByEmail($code) {
    $content = 'Your Code: '.$code;
    $subject = 'nuBuilder Authentication Code';
    $fromName = 'nubuilder';
    $sendTo = nuGetEmail();

    $fromAddress = "setup@email_settings.com";        // the mail used in general -- email settings here. (this variable is referred but missing in the original code, added here.)

    $cc = "some@email.com";               // this parameter is required by the function. if you dont want to use, you can replace it with globe admin email account.
    $bcc = "another@email.com";  // this parameter is required by the function. if you dont want to use, you can replace it with globe admin email account.

// this is the original function used in email setup testing:
//nuSendEmail($to, $fromAddress, $fromName, $body, $subject, array(), true, $cc, $bcc);
//it is adapted here like this:

 nuSendEmail($sendTo, $fromAddress, $fromName, $content, $subject, array(), true, $cc, $bcc);


// nuEmailPHP($sendTo, $fromAddress, $fromName, $content, $subject);    ------ old code: it did not work.

    nuDisplayError("An email has been sent to the registered account. Subject = '".$subject."'");
}
//...the following of the code is the same.
