Tank Auth v1.0 (CI authentication library) - El Forum - 07-27-2010
[eluser]Unknown[/eluser]
I really like tank_auth. I am using version 1.3
I would like to change the validation for the password. I would like to allow users to be able to use a password with special characters < for eg . 'pass1234%$' should work.' What do I need to do. Is it just to change the validation rule in auth.php controller?
Thank you for any help you can provide.

[quote author="TheFuteballer" date="1270329503"]I noticed that Tank_Auth redirects ONLY to the home page once a user logs in. Has anyone found a good solution to redirect to the referring page?
i.e. A user tries to access a protected portion of the side - www.example.com/admin , they go to the login page, but once they log in they get redirected to www.example.com instead of www.example.com/admin
I'd ideally like to avoid having to set a session variable that holds the current URL on each page (controller) that I want to protect.[/quote]
I can't think of a graceful way to do it without using session variables, but here's how I am doing it.
I have a secure controller that extends the normal CI controller. All my pages that require a login use a controller that extends this Secure controller:
Code:
abstract class Secure extends Controller
{
function __construct()
{
parent::__construct();
$this->load->helper('url');
if (!$this->tank_auth->is_logged_in()) {
$this->session->set_userdata('refer', uri_string());
redirect('/auth/login/');
}
}
}(There's other stuff too but it's irrelevant)
Then, I extend CI's url_helper in helpers/MY_url_helper.php, overriding the redirect function:
Code:
function redirect($uri = '', $method = 'location', $http_response_code = 302)
{
$ci =& get_instance();
if (!$uri && $ci->session->userdata('refer')) {
$uri = $ci->session->userdata('refer');
$ci->session->unset_userdata('refer');
}
if ( ! preg_match('#^https?://#i', $uri))
{
$uri = site_url($uri);
}
switch($method)
{
case 'refresh' : header("Refresh:0;url=".$uri);
break;
default : header("Location: ".$uri, TRUE, $http_response_code);
break;
}
exit;
}That's the normal redirect function - the only new stuff is that first code block.
The advantage of this over the other suggested approach is that you don't have to change anything in tank_auth. You also don't have to set the referrer on a per-controller (or per-function) basis, and you don't have to deal with hidden variables in the login form.
I tried using flashdata but I think it doesn't work because I think the internal redirect counts as an extra server request.

It seems that clear_attempts should use the same creteria as get_attempts_num, otherwise the login attempts will not be cleared.
Code:
function clear_attempts($ip_address, $login, $expire_period = 86400)
{
/* modified to make it consistent with get_attempts_num
$this->db->where(array('ip_address' => $ip_address, 'login' => $login));*/
$this->db->where('ip_address', $ip_address);
if (strlen($login) > 0) $this->db->or_where('login', $login);
// Purge obsolete login attempts
$this->db->or_where('UNIX_TIMESTAMP(time) <', time() - $expire_period);
$this->db->delete(self::TABLE);

Hi guys,
First, I'm sorry for my bad english,
I found something strange about my application. I try to register & login with this library using default view and captcha enabled and everything is fine. Then i try load my own view to register & login, but everytime i try to login or register with captcha enabled, it always return an error "Your confirmation code has expired. Please try again."
I try to experiment a little, then I found that a <img> tag inside a view that contain the captcha image make the script won't works. When i remove all the <img> tag inside my view, the script is working again.
Can someone look into this problem, because i still want to show icons and images on my registration & login pages.

I'm getting this error on login ~
Fatal error: Call to undefined method CI_Input::xss_clean()
any idea? Am using CI2.0 but I can't imagine this is the reason.
it's on one line in auth/login ~
Code:
// Get login for counting attempts to login
if ($this->config->item('login_count_attempts', 'tank_auth') AND
($login = $this->input->post('login')))
{
//$login = $this->input->xss_clean($login)
$login=$login;
}
else
{
$login = '';
}commenting out the line allows me to login with no problems.
Is this CI2.0 related ?
thanks
edit
it would appear xss_clean is now part of the security library, so
$login = $this->security->xss_clean($login)
does the job nicely.

Hi -- I'm having some trouble with a brand-new tank auth installation: when I try to register a new account, I get a database error:
Quote:A Database Error Occurred
Error Number: 1054
Unknown column 'new_email' in 'where clause'
SELECT 1 FROM (users) WHERE LOWER(email)= 'benjaminl.yates@yahoo.com' OR LOWER(new_email)= 'benjaminl.yates@yahoo.com'
Can anyone help? (I'm a major noob to programming in general, so it's possible I forgot something obvious.)

Did you import the database file y set up with codeigniter database config class?

Yep, I imported the SQL. I've attached a screenshot of the tables.

Yes -- I had the database connectivity working before I installed tank auth.
