How can I debug PEAR auth?
- by croceldon
I have a directory on my site that I've implemented PEAR's Auth to run my authentication. It is working great.
However, I've tried to make a copy of my site (it's going to be translated to a different language), and on this new site, the Auth process doesn't seem to be working correctly.
I can login properly, but every time I try to go to a different page in the same directory, and use Auth to authorize, it forces me to login again.
Here's my logic:
$auth_options = array(
'dsn' => mysql://user:password@server/db',
'table' => 'users',
'usernamecol' => 'username',
'passwordcol' => 'password',
'db_fields' => '*'
);
$auth = new Auth("DB", $auth_options, "login_function");
$auth->setFailedLoginCallback('bad_login');
$auth->start();
if (!$auth->checkAuth())
{
die('cannot succeed in checkAuth')
exit;
} else {
include("nocache.php");
}
This is part of a file that's included in every php page I that I desire to require authentication. I can login properly once, but whenever I then try to go to a different page that requires authentication, it makes me login again (and I see the 'cannot succeed' die message at the bottom of the page).
Again, this solution works fine on my original site, I copied all the files, and only changed the db server/password - it still doesn't work. And I'm using the same webhost for both.
What am I doing wrong here? Or how can I debug this further?
