 Posted: Wed Nov 26, 2003 7:59 am Post subject: how to create "log in" with different users |
 |
|
I need to know how to create user login like in hotmail.
In cases which i have around 5000 different users that will all have a username and password, how is this normally done?
Using the abyss web server built in "users access" might not be the best solution right?
Can anyone point me in the right direction on how to creat a login form that is built in to the actual webpage code instead of the webserver...
thanks alot

You can't use .htaccess because you're using Abyss not Apache :lol:
Doing logins purely with Abyss, you could still generate the userlist with a script and then paste it into the Abyss configuration file rather than having to do them one at a time in the web menus. I think Aprelium would have to answer whether Abyss can handle 5,000 custom users though unless anyone's tried it.
http://www.aprelium.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2298 explains the encryption format. All you'd have to do is knock up a batch file / script to concate username:password and write out the md5sum to a file in the format used by Abyss then cut and paste it into the conf.
SSI using the username would allow you to direct users to the right homedirectory. I think you'd also have to script the access control for each custom directory you wanted to use too. |

If you are looking for something reliable and not heavy for the server, get a look on mysql samples (on its site).
Using a database with php as a script language for authentifying users is commonly and safely used. Of course you could figure out some security issues, which may disturb and trouble you. But, i'm sure it is worth the try.
I do not have real references :oops:
By the way, this forum is built using phpBB which is based on mysql as a user database : do you think that we, users of the forum, are authentified through the web server? ... :roll:

Not just using Abyss and no scripting languages - Abyss only seems to read the .conf file where the users are stored when the server is started, so each additional member would need a server restart before they were recognised even if you wrote it directly to the conf file. As others have said, PHP/MySQL is probably one of the easiest routes. |

i read alot about php and login forms and it all seems to make sense except the SQL database...
I understand that the userlist has to be stored in this SQL database.
Is SQL database have to run as a system service so that the php code can connect to it?
I downloaded mysql for windows and installed it but it makes no sense to me.
one of the sites showed me an SQL database
CREATE TABLE members (
id INT NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY,
password VARCHAR(12) NOT NULL,
username VARCHAR(12) NOT NULL,
index(password),
index(username))
Where is all this code stored? what file? *.sql file? Non of the guides really explain where this code comes from and how i add users to it....
i hope someone can explain this to me
thanks

| Use a combination of an antileech script to prevent direct file access and stick and an index.html file that redirects them back to the login page... |

For MySQL, try to read the tutorials furnished in the doc directory where you installed MySQL.
there are even tutorials using PHP and books to download from the net.
I don't have links for now... But i'll try to get them for you (try google.com searching "MySQL + tutorials + PHP"
