# Blosxom Plugin:Login # Author: Fletcher T. Penney # Version: 0.4 # NOTE: a functional cookies plugin is required.

Another file, $excludefile, defines which users can access certain parts of your site. The format for the files is explained above. $login::username provides the users login, once it has been validated against the database. It remains "" if someone is not logged in. $login::loginform provides the login/logout box. Place it in your templates wherever you like. $login::message gives certain status messages. By default, login provides logging messages when certain errors occur, and when a failed login attempt happens. $login::signupform provides html code for a simple account sign up form. Once a user submits the information, it is added to a text file defined by $pending_file. If you want to add the account, simply copy the user and password hash to the defined password file in the format "user:hash" as defined by the htpasswd command. PLEASE NOTE: I am not a security expert. I can't guarantee that there isn't a huge loophole in this somewhere. And note - any malicious plug-in could expose a whole by tampering with the $username variable - verify that other plugins do not attempt to manipulate $login::username or access the cookies. But this is more a matter of being careful which plugins you install. Also, this plugin does not pretend to offer serious security. Someone could read a restricted file if they have read access to the location that the file is stored. This could occur if you datadir is in your web servers documentroot. There are many issues to consider when securing a web site, and I don't pretend to address them all, nor do I guarantee that this plugin even works properly. It is simply a means to provide some form of control without much effort on your part. You get what you pay for. But I will continue to work with the community to improve it as security holes are noted. =head1 BUGS None known; please send bug reports and feedback to the Blosxom development mailing list . =head1 AUTHOR Fletcher T.
