New Age Auth
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
I've forked the main Auth module because there were some fundamental flaws with it:
|
|
|
|
1. It's trivial to [bruteforce](http://dev.kohanaframework.org/issues/3163) publicly hidden salt hashes.
|
|
- I've fixed this by switching the password hashing algorithm to the more secure secret-key based hash_hmac method.
|
|
2. ORM drivers were included.
|
|
- I've fixed this by simply removing them. They cause confusion with new users because they think that Auth requires ORM. The only driver currently provided by default is the file driver.
|
|
3. Auth::get_user()'s api is inconsistent because it returns different data types.
|
|
- I've fixed this by returning an empty user model by default. You can override what gets returned (if you've changed your user model class name for instance) by overloading the get_user() method in your application.

These changes should be merged into the mainline branch eventually, but they completely break the API, so likely won't be done until 3.1. |
