What would be the best way to approach setting up a shared password protected area in Yii?
I am looking to have a view of a Group model, that can be accessed by a shared password created by the owner of that group – group members shouldn’t have to log in, purely enter this passcode.
Should this still be done with Yii’s built in auth tools? – or is there a simpler solution, bearing in mind that someone might want to access several groups.
You can do this using standard session mechanism built into PHP. When someone tries to view password-protected area, check the session variable, if the user haven’t entered password yet then redirect him to some page with a password form (you can do the check using controller filters for example).
After the form is submitted, check correctness of password and if everything is ok, write it into the session. You can differentiate session keys by group ids.
