Open source login solution
- by David
Authentication is such a general problem, which most websites have to implement. There are a few commercial solutions, but all lack sufficient functionality to customize the registration process. Therefore, I am looking for an open-source alternative. I am using PHP and with PostgreSQL as database, but as far as I understand one could utilize authentication solutions using other technologies and integrate them into our site in various ways. Therefore, I am looking for such solutions in any technology apart from those requiring Microsoft infrastructure...
I would prefer Open Source solution, which have already implemented the following features:
Has password recovery procedure
Username is the email address of the user
Has "Remember me" functionailty (meaning that the user is logged in
automatically without seeing the login page)
email address verification
Google has gotten me nowhere on this and neither a search on this site...
