 Posted: Fri May 19, 2006 4:19 am Post subject: Identifying members in protected folders |
 |
|
I've finally written a program to manage my user accounts for protected areas (using Abyss's Users and Groups functionality) but one thing I really need is a way to access the ID of the person(s) logged in. Does/can Abyss set a cookie or something so I can identify the persons in my scripts?
It seems rather lame to have someone log into a protected area and then ask them for their user name when they fill in a form, etc. |

Abyss uses basic HTTP auth, which is handled by the users web browser. If you want a cookie based login scheme, you'll have to use a users/groups system written in the scripting language of your choice...
The access.log file does log users/IPs but I wouldn't recommend attempting to parse it as a reliable post log in tool...

This information is available in the CGI environment variable AUTH_USER ( http://www.aprelium.com/data/doc/2/abyssws-win-doc-html/cgivars.html ).
