[quote author="Clone" date="1302040450"][quote author="Vheissu" date="1301851509"]I would suggest for now using Ion Auth. WolfAuth I am currently rewriting to be driver based using Codeigniter 2.0 drivers functionality and a stable feature packed version will be out sometime this week as I am putting the finishing touches on it now.[/quote]
I would be interested to know what your auth system has that Ion Auth doesn't. Ion Auth is well documented and easy to use. Do you have documentation? Security is a big issue with me as well.
I am starting a big project and don't want to keep switching Authentication systems in the middle of development.[/quote]
If you want feature packed right out of the gate, stick with Ion Auth. Whilst Wolfauth is going to be awesome, it's not going to have all of the bells and whistles that Ion Auth has right away.
The only difference is that Wolfauth is driver based and Ion Auth isn't, hardly a deal breaker. However, a driver based approach in my opinion is best if you want to have different authentication methods like Twitter, Facebook, etc all in separate driver files for easier management.
Initially Wolfauth will not have fancy things like activations and emailing functionality which Ion Auth has. That will come via additional drivers later on in a few weeks after launch or so depending on time constraints.
Wolfauth does not use groups like Ion Auth does, instead low level role based authentication is used instead.
The initial release of Wolfauth will also come with a simple ACL like set up which allows you to restrict access to class methods and functions based on either usernames or role ID's.
So if you need things like user activation/email notifications and all that kind of stuff, your best bet is to stick with Ion Auth.
