What's your favorite CI Auth plugin
#1

[eluser]Ben Bowler[/eluser]
I'm looking for a stable, scalable auth plugin to use for a large membership based site. So far I've come across these:

http://codeigniter.com/wiki/auth/
http://icebergist.com/posts/simple-passw...odeigniter
https://github.com/benedmunds/CodeIgniter-Ion-Auth

What's your preference?

I had tried out the Ion Auth but end up I write my own solution from scratch for better control and simplicity.

Yeah there's a lot of Auth systems which are bloated, but I wrote my own which I use in all my personal projects now.

Ion Auth is good, if you get your head around all the stuff.

OK thanks. It's seems like building my own is the best bet.

I like ion auth. Writing my own isn't as comprehensive as using ion auth (salts, basic functions, meta tables, groups) I just don't have the time to think out and write one to spec.

If I do a lot of projects I grab ion Auth by default and only deviate if the requirements are different then what it can provide.

My choice is dx_auth.

The best thing with dx_auth is that only one line is needed in your controller to protect it.
$this->dx_auth->check_uri_permissions();

My favorite Auth Library is the one I wrote for myself.

If you're looking for writing your own Library Greg made a great tutorial

Ion Auth is pretty good, I've used it for a few projects of mine. I'm in the process of developing a driver based authentication library for Codeigniter that uses Codeigniter drivers. The plan is to have a couple of drivers (session driver and a Facebook driver). I'm planning on writing lots more including; Twitter, LinkedIn and Google - more will follow suit.

The link to the current uncompleted version is in my signature. WolfAuth.
