Re: [Phplib-users] again auth.inc and perm.inc !

[Guillaume D. <gde...@pr...>]

I've not really follow this discussion closely but i cannot disagree that the
code of auth.inc is pretty much hard to maintain... and that it is very hard
to code a phpnuke login style with it... and the default_auth is not very
helping... so the code of the auth.class is probably not exactly what we need
now...

So, the suggestion of Giancarlo make sens for me, but it is an evidence that
we need to examine closely the "secondary effect" of these kind of
modification in the structure of the auth class ...

Using session to store the pre_login_state of auth class seems to be a good
idea to avoid the "vicious circle" of an auth class not ready
authenticated... and avoid to use auth[uid] as a flag seems to be a really
good idea too...

Moreover... the perm.inc should be probably redesigned... the use of a
bitmask is a great idea in a vision of phplib used to build a simple
application... but phplib is now involved in "large" project : a web site
with many "little" application... each application needed is own perm
sheme... so we need to have a real user/group/perm sheme.

I've built a perm.inc like that using an email from Kristian... and I've
submited my code to Richard for examination, but Richard seems to be very
hard working, so he has no time to see it. If anybody want to see it, I'll be
happy to share that code... and I'll be happier to see this code included in
the next version of version phplib...
