Solution 1

check this one Using Different Table for Auth in Laravel

Edit app/config/auth.php to change the table.

'table' => 'yourTable'
'model' => 'YourModel',

then your model:

use Illuminate\Auth\UserTrait;
use Illuminate\Auth\UserInterface;
use Illuminate\Auth\Reminders\RemindableTrait;
use Illuminate\Auth\Reminders\RemindableInterface;

class YourModel extends Eloquent implements UserInterface, RemindableInterface 
{
    use UserTrait;
    use RemindableTrait;

    protected $table = 'your_table';
    protected $fillable = array('UserName', 'Password');    
    public $timestamps = true;
    public static $rules = array();    
}

Solution 2

You can specify which database to use using the $connection attribute in your model:

class MyModel extends Eloquent
{
    protected $connection = 'another-database-connection';
}

I'm not sure it's what you're looking for tho. That said, if you want to use the same Laravel application for multiple subdomains, I'd recommend checking the documentation which explains how to use subdomains in your routes:

https://laravel.com/docs/5.3/routing#route-group-sub-domain-routing

This would allow you to have a single User class and a single application but have specific routes for each of your 3 subdomains.

Solution 3

go to your config\auth.php

modify the configuration

'guards' => [
    'astrologer' =>[
        'driver' => 'session',
        'provider' => 'astrologer',
    ],
    'admin' => [
        'driver' => 'session',
        'provider' => 'admin',
    ],
],  

'providers' => [
    'astrologer' => [
        'driver' => 'eloquent',
        'model' => App\Astrologer::class,
    ],
    'admin' => [
        'driver' => 'eloquent',
        'model' => App\Admin::class,
    ],

    How can i change the default user model to use other database table instead of users table in laravel 5.3, is adding

    protected $table = 'my_table_name';
    

    will do everything or do i have to change the providers and all.

    I dont wish to use multiple authentication like admin, customers etc i just want one authentication model but not with the table "users".

    I am preparing an application which has multiple type of users like admin, astrologers and users. all of them have different attributes so i cant use single model with access control in it so i have decided to divide the application into 3 websites to use single database and host them in subdomains like

    admin.mywebsite.com
    astrologer.mywebsite.com
    www.mywebsite.com
    

    earlier i was using multiauth/hesto plugin but for some strange reason it's not redirecting me to the intended url after login and registration. any help will be appreciated.
