Infrastructure & Utilities

The invisible systems that hold the ecosystem together.

AJT License Master

v2.7.1

Server-Authoritative Plugin Licensing

The single source of truth for all AJT plugin licensing. Runs exclusively on ajt.support. Manages site registrations, RSA JWT token issuance, heartbeat verification, billing command dispatch via local hooks, plugin update delivery, support tickets, and the product registry that syncs to Stripe Pro.

PHP 7.4+ OpenSSL RSA 2048-bit JWT RS256 HMAC-SHA256

AJT Sentinel

Tamper-Resistant License Enforcement

Must-Use (MU) plugin that monitors all registered AJT plugins for file integrity and license compliance. Shared across all AJT plugins on a site. Performs hash checks, heartbeat freshness verification, colocation proof, and enforces license downgrade on compliance failure. Cannot be deactivated from the admin UI.

PHP MU-Plugin Architecture SHA-256 Hashing WordPress Cron

AJT DB

Unified Database Abstraction Layer

Shared database library across all AJT plugins. Provides named parameter support, automatic table prefix resolution, PDO-to-wpdb query translation, runtime table registration, and ownership tracking for clean multi-plugin uninstall. Supports both SQLite (development) and MySQL (production) with automatic failover.

PHP PDO wpdb SQLite

AJT MFA

v1.6.0

Two-Factor Authentication Done Right

TOTP-based two-factor authentication compatible with all major authenticator apps. Features per-role enforcement, trusted devices, recovery codes, brute-force lockout protection, XML-RPC blocking, activity logging, and email notifications. Integrates with MSP Hub for branded login page MFA challenges.

PHP 7.4+ RFC 6238 TOTP Base32 Encoding HMAC-SHA1

AJT SMTP Pro

v2.2.2

Reliable Email Delivery for WordPress

SMTP email delivery plugin with AES-256 encrypted credential storage, email logging, send-test functionality, and GLASS integration. Uses License Lite for lightweight licensing without the full sentinel/heartbeat overhead.

AJT Backup

v2.5.2

Cloud Backup with Real Verification

Premium WordPress backup to SharePoint, OneDrive, Google Drive, Amazon S3, and local storage. Features AES-256-GCM encryption at rest, full restore engine with selective restore and rollback, incremental backups, archive-level SHA-256 integrity verification, automated dry-run testing, cloud storage health checks, and OAuth proxy for zero-config cloud connections.
