Re: [Phplib-users] Default Auth? 7.2d

[Jacob H. <Jac...@fi...>]

Thanks for the responses to the default auth issue. I've got it now.
Perhaps the docs on default auth should be updated... The bit about
$sess using only the first $auth class that is used over the course of
it's life was an important clue for me.

It doesn't work to use different Auth subclasses on different pages of
the same website.  Whatever Auth subclass appears in the first
page_open() that the user visits will be the auth class for all pages
visited in the site while that session persists.

A common approach to allowing unrestricted access to some pages and
not others is to set up the application's Auth subclass to use
"default authentication" -- $auth->nobody == true -- and then force
login on restricted pages by using something like this right after
calling page_open():

    $auth->login_if($auth->auth["uid"] == "nobody");
