pc_user updated

Søren Vind — Sun, 19 Apr 2009 16:10:30 +0000

I have just uploaded a new version of the user authentication library, pc_user. It does not contain major changes – only a security improvement which could have resulted in a SQL injection attack if the parameters given to the library was not cleaned prior to passing it to the library. The new release fixes this issue.

The new release, 1.1.

Short statistics:

11 days
130 working hours
23549 lines of Java code
- Thus: no life for a couple of weeks

Oh, and the result? A way to visualize code written in the GEZEL hardware description language as graphs and a complete multiplatform editor for GEZEL code.

Well, hello 1.0.

In a time where almost everything must have the version stamp 2.0 to be cool, I have just completed bug fixes and corrections for the 1.0 version of the pc_user authentication library for CodeIgniter. As the last time I announced pc_user, it can be found on the pc_user page.

Till next time

Introducing pc_user – a user authentication library for CodeIgniter

Søren Vind — Mon, 21 Jan 2008 21:20:10 +0000

pc_user is a lightweight authentication library for CodeIgniter. It focuses on simplicity and security. Using the library, you are able to create users, make them log in and out and use secure user hashes for table relations. Logins can be restricted by a maximum number of login retries, it is possible to log in using a cookie and it is possible to use both email and username as login-identifier. Also, user-authentication by email is supported, and the library will give you proper error codes, which you can handle the way you want.

Please comment if you have any suggestions or praise. Contact me if you find bugs in the library.
