I would like to achieve wordpress to moodle sso. If a user logs into wordpress i want the user to also be automatically logged into moodle.
I have already intergrated the courses from moodle into wordpress.
Any ideas on how to achieve this, i would rather not use plugins. Any leads will be appreciated.
I think you're going to be better off using a plugin. As you will need to use wordpress Oauth to authenticate a moodle user againist your wordpress database.
So in short If a user logs into moodle their password will be stored and authenticated in wordpress.
This tutorial on moodle explains how best to handle it in the most efficient way.

I am currently coding a WordPress Plugin. The plugin basically, adds a custom login form to any post or page using short code and allows user to login a custom page.
However, I have been reading the WordPress codex and on forums about user authentication using the WordPress Authentication functions or using a custom coded authentication script.
So my question is which would be the best option to use?
I think you should use WordPress authentication. It would be fastest and better then custom authentication solution.
Currently I am developing a site in Opencart. For the blog, I am using Wordpress but my client does not want two different login sections for opencart and wordpress. Is it possible to redirect a user from the admin of wordpress to OpenCart and vice versa using a link without them having to enter a password each time?
Please advise. Your valuable suggestion will help me to sort out this problem.
This is possible by adding a simple plugin, which defines the needed (pluggable) login functions.

Basically, rather than logging into WP directly, you'd write the pluggable functions that authenticates the user using OpenCart's details. (Note that hooks allow you to make the login form redirect straight to the latter, too.)
Look for an existing plugin or module that does this. It would be surprising if none exist already.
I have a client wanting me to create a whole new WP site for them but with most of the same content as their current WP site. The issue is they don't know their current WP admin login or their ftp login (via DreamHost), and their previous web guy is MIA. Is their any other way to gain access to their site to export their WP data? I figured no, but I thought I'd at least ask.
Contact the hosting company. They can give you access. They're usually pretty cooperative about that kind of thing. As long as you can prove you own the site.
I have moodle installation and wordpress blog. When user logged on to moodle want to access wordpress blog. i want to implement sso with moodle(1.9.7) and wordpress(3.0.1) blog.
I am using External DB authentication plugin.
I want to access my wordpress blog through my Moodle database. I did all given steps at Authenticate Users From Moodle Into WordPress MU. Right now, admin is able to sign in both moodle and wordpress using my moodle database, But other users in facing "wrong user name or password error".
Kindly advice
Thanks in advance.
You can login because you changed you admin password to match on each system.
Your other users can't login because they are in effect using 2 separate accounts.
Your users on Moodle will need their authentication changing in their profile to "External Database", at present they are most likely set to "manual".
Try editing a user profile and change the authentication method to "External Database" then get the user to login using their Wordpress login details.
Should fix it.
If it works, change all the other accounts to the same setting.

Is there any way to setup a Wordpress blog (or any other blog system) and let users use the same credentials used in a phpBB forum...a sort of database sharing.
there's no out-of-the-box method of sharing PHPBB users with WordPress - it would involve modifying WordPress quite a bit to implement it...
there is a blogging site conversion for phpbb, which converts phpbb into a blog.. and I guess you could probably hack it a bit so that you could run forums and a blog from the same database?
