README
Tuatara is a user authentication and access control management system
built in object oriented PHP5 with a MySQL backend. This system is
meant for programmers and non-programmers alike who need a powerful
but easy to use drop in access control system for their web site, and
don't have the time or requirements for a full fledged framework based
system.

Features include configurable groups, simple registration with optional
email verification, forgotten password retrieval, user profiles, and a
robust administration interface that lets you control every aspect of
your installation. Security is another feature that is taken very
seriously, including multiple levels of authentication checks to verify
user sessions, dynamically hashed passwords, and error checking that'll
stop XSS attacks in their tracks.

For more information on how to use Tuatara, please consult the
documentation. If you got this readme from a Tuatara package, then
the documentation is available in the docs/ directory. Documentation
is also available at http://tuatara.syeke.com/docs/ and a full API
is available at http://tuatara.syeke.com/api/
