Manual:bot_passwords table

Manual:Contents MediaWiki database layout bot_passwords table
MediaWiki version:
1.27

The bot_passwords table stores bot passwords.

On wiki farms using some kind of single sign-on, wikis can use a single shared table; thus, the local wiki's bot_password table is not necessarily the one where the passwords are stored. See $wgBotPasswordsDatabase and $wgBotPasswordsCluster .

Fields

edit

bp_user

edit

Central ID of the user. On a default installation this is a foreign key to user.user_id .

bp_app_id

edit

App ID, used to differentiate multiple applications using the same account; applications using bot login need to pass <real username>@<app id> as username.

bp_password

edit

Password hash (like user.user_password ).

bp_token

edit

Token for remembering / invalidating the session (like user.user_token ).

bp_restrictions

edit

JSON blob for MWRestrictions.

bp_grants

edit

Grants allowed to the account when authenticated with this bot-password.
