Okay, I am not sure what did it but I can't seem to login as of today on this laptop on 2.6. Which has me thinking to redo login. It might be fine but I think this should use a session/IP check system my board uses. It uses a session table which will check the logged user's IP against the current IP as well as their system info.
The idea is to make stolen cookies useless as they will need their IP and system info in order to have it be useful. There's also the problem of dynamic IPs so there might be an option to use less secure method of it only checking a certain range. I also want sessions to auto wipe after 7 days so the system won't be cluttered. I have some revamps in mind to better query usage and to make login a bit less complicated. My hope is to have $loguser started as soon as it possibly can. Thoughts on this topic? |

I get on here on my phone and iPad all the time from a 4G network that most likely uses dynamic IP's if I'm not mistaken. If I understand your post correctly then what you propose might make it a pain for me and any other user who posts from a cellular network. |

Which is why the range is optional and you can instead just have it check your system but it would indeed be a bit insecure and the cookie would become more valuable to steal but eh. Depends on how exactly we want to go here. |

Does the user have to specify if they want a specific range instead? That seems kind of unintuitive due to many users having smartphones/tablets nowadays; to have to change a setting before they can browse the forums is something I've never heard of before.
I'd be okay with it if browsing over cellular data was an uncommon thing. |

Full, first half, none. Those would be the options. None would use another method but it would be a bit insecure so you shouldn't really use it.
That's the problem with binding IPs to sessions. While it prevents cookie theives from getting what they want (if they somehow found a hole), it can potentially make dynamic IPs unlikely to use it. Which is why a session and not a cookie would be used in that case. I just want to make sure it isn't something that will wipe once you exit your browser and come back later. |

I actually am quite fond of the find control that BH's system gives. I would like to preserve it in a new sessions system. However I'd marry it to your approach and have both a "Normal" and "Advanced" mode. Present the basic options that you spoke of, than an advanced mode allowing a ranks to be put in. I have funky but consistent IP ranges and I would need the fine control of the old system. Thoughts? The Dynamic Profile Administrator™"Never Knows Best" Note: if you can see this my layout broke.

I think maybe for the users who fear being hacked, you could have it where you set a range expected and if it doesn't meet it that it alerts you if you set it up to through a valid email.
This being optional of course.
What do you mean by ranks? Ranges or something? If so, yes. That may work nicely. It would take a bit of work but quite possible. Setting up expected ranging could be like: 69.243.%.%,1.2.3.4,244.%.%.% They would be separated by commas and then we would use IP checking function (I have a good one) that would look for those matches when looking for your session. What I could do IS allow an option where you could allow outside ranges but be notified if someone does have that session and tries to do things. You can also IP block ranges you never may be on but that idea is probably poor for obvious reasons. Maybe if email was enforced, new ranges could get an email to enable but that idea is annoying. Just throwing lots of ideas out there. |

I meant ranges, but I typed ranks and didn't catch it..
I would recommend sticking with '*' for the wildcard since it's already so on the board, and it's more commonly used vs. the SQL '%'. But yes you got the basic idea. The e-mail idea is good. Also it allows us to implement a system of confirming with e-mail, and maybe support down the line the 'bad weather day' system of staff approval.

I'll be implementing a new system of logining in fairly soon. It will be done by the end of the week with the installer. I will need many of you to test it so we can be sure everything is generating perfectly.
My hope is to make the system as flexible and secure as possible. Might have it where the owner can customize how we wants things setup as in not only randomized salts and such but maybe he can choose what characters he wants to to randomize from. Options are always nice. |
