DX Auth 1.0.6 (Authentication library)
#1

[eluser]dexcell[/eluser]
Introduction
DX Auth is an authentication library for Code Igniter. It's goal to enable you to easily include secure and easy to use authentication library to your project, while giving you the flexibility to choose from simple authentication system to full fledged authentication system.

DX Auth is also build with internationalization in mind, so every string is available in language file. (Except the examples because that is your code, not the library).

It's based on CL Auth 0.2.5 beta developed by Jason Ashdown.

What is the feature of DX Auth?

* Basic auth (Login, logout, register, change password).
* Remember me.
* Login using username or email address or both (depend on config settings).
* Forgot password.
* Ban user.
* Last login IP address and time (optional).
* Email activation (optional).
* User Profile (optional).
* Role based (admin, user, moderator, etc). Inheritance also supported (optional)
* Restrict page based on URI and role (optional).
* Custom permission for each role (optional).
* Login attempt (optional). You can use this to display catpcha after specified try to login to prevent bot.
* Event feature (For example: You can put your own code like PM welcome message after user activated, etc).
* Captcha (optional, native and reCAPTCHA is available).
* Simple admin panel (So you can customize it, include it into your own admin panel, or delete if you don't need it).
* Most of the feature is optional, means you can turn it off in config file, delete it, or just don't use it.

Very nice and well documented, will try this library in my current project.

First remarks:
1. You need to move out to language file all strings like 'Remember me','Username','Confirmation Code','You are already logged in.','You have successfully registered.' etc. Without that your library is not "build with internationalization in mind".
Example:
Code:
$val->set_rules('username', 'lang:auth_login_username', 'trim|required|xss_clean');

2. I have all my user related tables in separeted database. So construction like
Code:
// Load Database
$this->ci->load->database();
is not good for me. Maybe you should make something like:
Code:
$this->ci->load->database($this->ci->config->item('DX_database'));

3. Check this:
Code:
$this->ci->load->plugin('DX_captcha');
There is no such plugin in installation.

4. I did not found any line where
Code:
$this->captcha_login
is used to switch on/off captcha in login page.

At first glance library is too crude for everyday use.

1. Auth.php is an example, meaning it's not the library, so it's your code, you need to create your application language file.

2. Good idea. I'm gonna add it later.

3. Sorry i've forgot adding it into zip download. Anyways i add it now, you can try to download it again. please let me know if something going wrong because in here, all it's going fine Smile thanks.

4. Do you mean in DX_Auth.php. Yes, see dx_config.php in the Helper configuration part. there is an explanataion there

Quote:At first glance library is too crude for everyday use
Well, that's why in DX Auth most of them can be turn off as option. so you can only use basic auth. Then you have scalability if you want to have more feature just go to config and turn the feature on.

Oh, I'm understand with Auth.php now, will dig only DX_Auth and models then. SmileI try to use your library with PostgreSQL, if you don't mind. Smile

See here to know which part is the DX Auth library, and which is not

http://dexcell.shinsengumiteam.com/dx_au...index.html

I just updated it, you might need to press F5 in your browser.

I don't mind and thanks for digging the code, maybe you can give advise or find bugs.

Thanks for your contribution—I'll give it a try.

Could anyone put up a comparison matrix for all the auth system we have now? —I've lost track long time ago. :cheese:
