security library poll

Post by alex.barylski »

So i've been slowly "in my off time" working on a security library which will handle:
1) Authentication/Identification
2) Authorization/Access Control
3) Session Management

Each is modular in design, using a driver approach for data storage or at least this is the hope (as I only have a working AdoDB working for #1) I can't say much more, cuz I don't know for sure...

The identification fields are variable, meaning if you wanna match against user/pass/email you can...or if you just wanna match against some other field, you can...

I have tried to work in optional fields, such as:
1) last login timestamp - updated on success
2) login attempts - incremented on failure, cleared on success
3) last attempt timestamp - updated on failed attempt

And just now I thought, it would be cool perhaps if the library assisted in restricting one person to an account...meaning someone logs in with user1/pass2 and 1 mins. later someone else tries with the same data, they are rejected, because you cannot login to one account at one time more than once... :P

Tongue twister there :)

Good idea or bad idea...

If a bad idea, explain why in a short post or your vote won't be considered...

Cheers :)

Ugh...

Because of the modularity of the library (each can be used independantly of the other(s))

The above feature creep will likely not be easy to implement or possible at all :P

Frick...I hate when that happens...

But I still wanna hear your opinions or suggestions...so fire away :)
