Обзор аутентификационных библиотек для CodeIgniter
Опубликовано 25 Ноя 2009 в рубрике «CodeIgniter»
Вскоре мне придется разрабатывать аутентификацию для пользователей, поэтому, натолкнувшись на этот обзор решил скопипастить на будущее.
Обзор довольно большой, помещен под кат, а для начала, оттуда же требования к наиболее идеальной библиотеке аутентификации:
- Tiny footprint with optional test implementation
- Full documentation
- No autoloading required. Just-in-time loading of libraries for performance
- Language file support; no hard-coded strings
- reCAPTCHA supported but optional
- Recommended TRUE random salt generation (e.g. using random.org or random.irb.hr)
- Optional add-ons to support 3rd party login (OpenID, Facebook Connect, Google Account, etc.)
- Login using either username or email
- Separation of user and profile data
- Emails for activation and lost passwords
- Automatic cookie login feature
- Configurable phpass for hashing (properly salted of course!)
- Hashing of passwords
- Hashing of autologin codes
- Hashing of lost password codes
- Hooks into CI’s validation system
- NO security questions!
- Enforced strong password policy server-side, with optional client-side (Javascript) validator
- Enforced maximum number of failed login attempts with BEST PRACTICES countermeasures against both dictionary and DoS attacks!
- All database access done through prepared (bound) statements!
Вот и сам обзор:
DX Auth
Pros
- Very full featured
- Medium footprint (25+ files), but manages to feel quite slim
- Excellent documentation, although some is in slightly broken English
- Language file support
- reCAPTCHA supported
- Hooks into CI’s validation system
- Activation emails
- Unactivated accounts auto-expire
- Suggests grc.com for salts (not bad for a PRNG)
- Banning with stored ‘reason’ strings
- Simple yet effective error handling
Cons
- Only lets users ‘reset’ a lost password (rather than letting them pick a new one upon reactivation)
- Homebrew pseudo-event model - good intention, but misses the mark
- Two password fields in the user table, bad style
- Uses two separate user tables (one for ‘temp’ users - ambiguous and redundant)
- Uses potentially unsafe md5 hashing
- Failed login attempts only stored by IP, not by username - unsafe!
- Autologin key not hashed in the database - practically as unsafe as storing passwords in cleartext!
- Role system is a complete mess: is_admin function with hard-coded role names, is_role a complete mess, check_uri_permissions is a mess, the whole permissions table is a bad idea (a URI can change and render pages unprotected; permissions should always be stored exactly where the sensitive logic is). Dealbreaker!
- Includes a native (poor) CAPTCHA
- reCAPTCHA function interface is messy
FreakAuth Light
Pros
- Very full featured
- Mostly quite well documented code
- Separation of user and profile data is a nice touch
- Hooks into CI’s validation system
- Activation emails
- Language file support
- Actively developed
Cons
- Feels a bit bloated (50+ files)
- And yet it lacks automatic cookie login (!)
- Doesn’t support logins with both username and password
- Seems to have issues with UTF-8 characters
- Requires a lot of autoloading (impeding performance)
- Badly micromanaged config file
- Terrible View-Controller separation, with lots of program logic in views and output hard-coded into controllers. Dealbreaker!
- Poor HTML code in the included views
- Includes substandard CAPTCHA
- Commented debug echoes everywhere
- Forces a specific folder structure
- Forces a specific Ajax library (can be switched, but shouldn’t be there in the first place)
- No max limit on login attempts - VERY unsafe! Dealbreaker!
- Hijacks form validation
- Uses potentially unsafe md5 hashing
pc_user
Pros
- Good feature set for its tiny footprint
- Lightweight, no bloat (3 files)
- Elegant automatic cookie login
- Comes with optional test implementation (nice touch)
Cons
- Uses the old CI database syntax (less safe)
- Doesn’t hook into CI’s validation system
- Kinda unintuitive status (role) system (indexes upside down - impractical)
- Uses potentially unsafe sha1 hashing
Fresh Powered
Pros
- Small footprint (6 files)
Cons
- Lacks a lot of essential features. Dealbreaker!
- Everything is hard-coded. Dealbreaker!
Redux
Pros
- Tiny footprint, no bloat (3 files)
- Excellent documentation
- Database normalized to 3rd normal form (nice touch)
- Activation emails
- Sleek coding style
- Suggests grc.com for salts (not bad for a PRNG)
Cons
- Requires autoloading (impeding performance)
- Return types are a bit of a hodgepodge of true, false, error and success codes
- Doesn’t hook into CI’s validation system
- Doesn’t allow a user to resend a ‘lost password’ code
SimpleLoginSecure
Pros
- Tiny footprint (4 files)
- Minimalistic, absolutely no bloat
- Uses phpass for hashing (excellent)
Cons
- Only login, logout, create and delete
- Lacks a lot of essential features. Dealbreaker!
- More of a starting point than a library
