register new customer from external script

[longy]

i'm trying to register customers from external script (no prestashop module) in prestashop 1.5.6.2.

Now i'm inserting in ps_customer table:

 

"email"=>"[email protected]",

"firstname"=>"foo",

"lastname"=>"bar",

"passwd"=>ToolsCore::encrypt("foobar"),

"active"=>1,

"secure_key"=>md5(uniqid(rand(), true)),

"id_default_group"=>3,

"id_lang"=>1,

"id_risk"=>0,

"birthday"=>"0000-00-00",

"newsletter_date_add"=>"0000-00-00",

"max_payment_days"=>0,

"date_upd"=>$data, //$data = date("Y-m-d H:i:s")

"date_add"=>$data

From Back Office I've no problems i can see customer and his data.
In Front Office customer can login, but after login can't see products or categories, can only see cms and account pages.
In desktop theme i can see only logo, a black bar with link to mobile theme.
In mobile theme i can see all menus, but clicking on a category i get 'Error Loading Page' and in console I get: "NetworkError: 403 Forbidden - myhost/index.php?id_category=X&controller=category".

What's the correct way to register a customer from an external script?

Maybe solved. After inserting a customer you must associate it with a group in the table ps_customer_group
