Looking for user management suggestions, secure coding

Discussions of secure PHP coding. Security in software is important, so don't be afraid to ask. And when answering: be anal. Nitpick. No security vulnerability is too small.

Looking for user management suggestions, secure coding

Post by nakins »

Hello,

I'm trying to build a community based site and need to either write or find a user management system. I haven't been doing much php code in recent years, so I wanted to ask around and get suggestions. I've tried using Joomla and Drupal for their community oriented modules, and to get the user management capabilities, but each one of them has their problems that I got tired of trying to deal with. So, I decided that I would put together my own system. One of the objectives I have in putting together the system is that the user management system be able to support a Shibboleth/Federated addition down the road.

So, are there any good, up to date, free user management systems or scripts out there, or good tutorials on building one? Any particular suggestions you might have for building one, or a feature I should look for? I know I will probably need different levels of user permission groups. I'm also looking for a good method of passing user attributes to various pages.

Any reply wold be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.
