Until now, I’ve been the only person who has had access to the editing tools/forms for my sites content, so using http authentication in an SSL protected directory has worked for me.
About to add someone to the content entering team so I’m wondering what PHP libraries you’d recommend for authentication and permission/access control to the form entry pages.
From looking around here, I see that OpenID is the highly recommended for the password aspect. I’m now wondering about the access control. Essentially our content entry forms are in a bunch of job specific files like:
newsentry.php
photocaption.php
nominations.php, etc. I’m looking for a system that enables me to say this form can be used by Person A, this one by A+B, etc.
Obviously I don’t want to reinvent the wheel and want something that people have faith in as relatively bulletproof.
The site’s run on a homespun CMS, so I’m assuming I’m looking for an Access Control System that can be run using a php include and some additional coding in each file.
Thanks in advance.
