codeigniter-easyauth's Introduction

Codeigniter-Easyauth

Very basic and "need-to-know" authentication package.

This package is very basic and focuses on 1 thing only: authentication

Easyauth is very configurable.

For a secure solution of handling sessions you may want to give [codeigniter-native-session][1] a go. It handles sessions server-side instead of cookies

How to use:

Run the SQL file (it is in the folder 'sql')
Copy config/easyauth.php to application/config/easyauth.php
Copy libraries/easyauth.php to application/libraries/easyauth.php
Copy controllers/Auth.php to application/controllers/Auth.php
Copy views/auth to application/views/auth

Thats it. (you can login with: [email protected] and password)

Installation

Copy "codeigniter-easyauth" folder in third party
Copy "codeigniter-easyauth/controllers/Auth.php" to your controllers directory
$this->load->add_package_path(APPPATH.'third_party/codeigniter-easyauth');
Paste the following section to your routes.php config file:

$route['login'] = 'auth/login';
$route['logout'] = 'auth/logout';
$route['register'] = 'auth/register';
$route['forgot-password'] = 'auth/forgot_password';
$route['reset-password/(:any)'] = 'auth/reset_password/$1';
$route['impersonate/(:any)'] = 'auth/impersonate/$1';
$route['unimpersonate'] = 'auth/unimpersonate';

note

It isn't mandatory that you call your database table 'users' you can change that if you like.

Current functionality

(examples below are based on controller name auth e.g. http://localhost/cidev/auth/login etc.)

/login
/logout
/register
/forgot-password
/reset-password/[CODE]
/impersonate/[USER-ID]
/unimpersonate

The reset link is only available if a user 'lost' his password. He will be receive an email with a link (reset-password/[CODE]) with a unique hash
