Authentication method,


paddyhaig

Recommended Posts

I believe it's time to give up on my prior authentication script and start from scratch, I believe it's far too broken to be fixed.

What I need is a tiered access level authentication method. That allows certain privileges to some and not others. I need administrative, managerial and staff levels.

What is the most secure method that I should be researching?

Is it cookie based and if so, how should I hash the cookie?

And is the anyone out there that can help me implement this?

One suggestion would be to build upon http://phpgacl.sourceforge.net/ for your security checks.

 

Most people use php sessions.  There are many libraries that can help.  I'd suggest you might take a look at the Zend Framework for a start:

 

http://framework.zend.com/manual/en/zend.session.html 

 

Using it will hide a lot of the complexity and allow you to focus on integrating that code into your application.
