[Phplib-users] on auth

[Giancarlo <gia...@na...>]

May I recall Kristian Kohentopp's comments about actual auth oddities?

Koehntopp PHPLIB was programmed with interstitial (blocking) 
authentication in mind. The state machine is 
really only useful 
for that, and little else. Default Auth and 
auth_preauth() were added as an afterthought in Koehntopp PHPLIB, and are 
really cluttering up the Auth process. 
       The whole thing should be redesigned, and using a 
sidebar login and default authentication as the main model, as 
this is much  more common and useful than the original interstitial auth.

Has anyone tried my new auth  at

Sorry to insist anyway, but that would solve many problems, and is perfectly 
compatible.
