User Authentication using htaccess
|
Can't Post
|
|
I'm busy looking for a useful perl script to manage user accounts.
Basically I'd like people to be able to sign up their details, then an e-mail sent with their details to an administrator who can then approve them by activating a link in the e-mail.
The users also need to be able to administer their accounts ie by being able to change passwords or retrieving them etc. I can then design a login box on a page that once logged in the user can then move around the site and be able to access "hidden" member areas.
I found this one (not my choice yet) which spookily uses the PP interface. http://www.cgi-world.com/pm2_demo.html Perhaps someone has ripped off someone elses code?
Can anyone give me some good links to what I'm after.
Martin.

I am tempted to go for the look alike to Page Publisher as this will make it easier for my admins to manage with a similar interface.
However in the meantime I've experimented with a free download "Account Manager Lite" from http://www.siteinteractive.com/acctlite/. A pig to configure correctly but now seems to work. I've been able to wrap my site look and feel around the panels. It seems to perform in just the way I wish - users sign up, choose password, get confirmatory e-mail "awaiting approval", admin gets e-mail request for access, needs to login and approve access, email sent back to user confirming this etc. Users can even request password reminders.
These scripts however do not seem to allow mulitple folder/directory protection. They are only set up for a "Members" area. I need this, plus a protected downloads area on the site. The Pop up window still appears for the protected directory login. It would be nice to have this on a html form.
I'm still searching through the links provided by Luke for my perfect solution.

xascripts.com offers a small "member script" called join4free - It provides quite a bit of the functionality your're looking for. I've used it on a couple of different projects where a hidden member area is required. All the member information is stored via mySQL and so far we've not run into any problems.

Thought I'd post an update: I use http://www.siteinteractive.com/acctlite/ Account Manager Lite (FREE !).
So far I have had 42 Tutors sign up on the site successfully using this bit of software. Allows you to approve/deny access and sends out e-mails to admins and users throughout the process.
It works and is easy to set up and best of all is FREE. I use it to allow Tutors to sign up for access to a password protected directory that houses all our library documents which are copyrighted. www.imagineeringweb.co.uk

Martin.

Hi all,
I just read this post. Also, I purchased PM2 (http://www.cgi-world.com/pm2) last week because of the GUI interface look-a-like.
I am concerned about authentication theft and would like to know if the new browsers are passing htaccess information via SSL. It is my understanding that using the "Auth: basic" will not encrypt passwords that it is passed from the client to the server and therefore can easily be picked up by hackers. Also, I would like to know if software like PM2 can support the "Auth: mod_auth_db" option. If so, does htaccess encryption for this option?
