I’ve just started to play with CodeIgniter 1.7.2 and imendialtly noticed that there is not a built-in library for user authentication.
I don’t need anything fancy. It’s only to authenticate users in to my back office system. I don’t need users and groups, or permissions etc. I just need a script to allow users to login. If a user tries to access a page and they are not logged in they should be denied. But it must be secure and it would be good if it use CI validation library.
Can anyone recommend a library for CI 1.7.2?
I did notice there is a similar post on StackOverflow but it’s well out of date and most of the libraries recommended either do not support 1.7.2 or are no longer being maintained.
Most important thing is that is must be secure and simple.
DX Auth or Freak Auth are great libraries that will suit almost every need that you may have
