OPINIE UŻYTKOWNIKÓW

Mimo, że strony WWW tworzymy już 5 lat zawsze znajdziemy coś ciekawego. Świadczy o tym chociażby nasza aktówka, w której znajduje się kilkadziesiąt porad, z których często korzystamy. Otwarta forma poradnika, czyli możliwość podrzucania tematów oraz wspólny ich rozwój, to nieoceniona pomoc. Uważam, ze abonament roczny jest niewspółmiernie niski do jakości zaprezentowanych materiałów.

Rozdział 34. Autoryzacja HTTP w PHP
Autoryzacja HTTP jest obsługiwana przez PHP tylko wtedy, gdy PHP pracuje
jako moduł Apache'a, nie jest dostępna w trybie CGI. W skrypcie można użyć
funkcji header() by wysłać do przeglądarki komunikat
"Wymagana autoryzacja", co spowoduje wyświetlenie okienka z polami
Użytkownik i Hasło. Po wypełnieniu przez użytkownika tych pól, URL
zawierający skrypt PHP zostanie ponownie wywołany z ustawionymi
predefiniowanymi zmiennymi
PHP_AUTH_USER, PHP_AUTH_PW i
PHP_AUTH_TYPE zawierającymi odpowiednio
nazwę użytkownika, hasło i typ autoryzacji. Zmienne te będą dostępne w
tablicach $_SERVER oraz
$HTTP_SERVER_VARS. Obecnie obsługiwana jest jedynie
autoryzacja typu "Basic". Więcej informacji znajdziesz w opisie funkcji
header().
Przykładowy skrypt wymuszający autoryzację klienta:
Przykład 34-1. Autoryzacja HTTP |
<?php
if (!isset($_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER'])) {
header('WWW-Authenticate: Basic realm="My Realm"');
header('HTTP/1.0 401 Unauthorized');
echo 'Tekst do wysłania, jeśli użytkownik wciśnie przycisk Anuluj';
exit;
} else {
echo "<p>Hej {$_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER']}.</p>";
echo "<p>Twoje hasło to {$_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_PW']}.</p>";
}
?>
|
|
Kompatybilność:
Należy uważać z linijkami dodawanymi do nagłówka HTTP. W celu zachowania
maksymalnej zgodności ze wszystkimi klientami, słowo Basic powinno
zaczynać się dużą literą "B", wartość realm powinna być otoczona
cudzysłowami (nie apostrofami), i dokładnie jeden znak odstępu powinien
poprzedzać kod 401 w linii
HTTP/1.0 401.
Zamiast wyświetlać wartość PHP_AUTH_USER i
PHP_AUTH_PW, jak to zrobiono w powyższym przykładzie,
zechcesz zapewne sprawdzić poprawność nazwy użytkownika i hasła. Na przykład
poprzez zapytanie do bazy danych lub odnalezienie użytkownika w pliku dbm.
Należy uważać na kapryśne przeglądarki Internet Explorer. Są wrażliwe na
kolejność wysyłanych nagłówków HTTP. Wysłanie nagłowka
WWW-Authenticate przed
HTTP/1.0 401 powinno rozwiązać problem.
Aby zapobiec sytuacji w której ktoś napisze skrypt wykradający hasło
wysłane tradycyjnym zewnętrznym mechanizmem, zmienne PHP_AUTH nie będą
ustawiane, jeśli dla danej strony aktywna jest autoryzacja zewnętrzna.
W tym wypadku, aby uzyskać nazwę użytkownika zautoryzowanego zewnętrznie,
należy skorzystać ze zmiennej REMOTE_USER. Zatem,
$_SERVER['REMOTE_USER'].
Konfiguracja:
Aby wykryć czy miała miejsce zewnętrzna autoryzacja, PHP sprwadza
obecność dyrektywy AuthType. Pamiętaj zatem, by
nie stosować tej dyrektywy w miejscach, gdzie będzie używana autoryzacja
PHP. Inaczej każda próba autoryzacji zakończy się niepowodzeniem.
Powyższa metoda nie zapobiega jednak wykradaniu haseł do stron wymagających
autoryzacji przez kogoś, kto na tym samym serwerze kontroluje strony nie
wymagające autoryzacji.
Zarówno Netscape Navigator jak i Internet Explorer opróżnią bufor
autoryzacji po otrzymaniu od serwera kodu 401. Można w ten sposób
wylogowanić użytkownika i zmusić go do ponownego wysłania nazwy użytkownika
i hasła. Tej metody można użyć do wylogowania użytkownika po określonym
czasie lub stworzenia przycisku "Wyloguj".
Przykład 34-2. Autoryzacja HTTP z wymuszeniem przelogowania |
<?php
function authenticate() {
header('WWW-Authenticate: Basic realm="Testowy system autoryzacji"');
header('HTTP/1.0 401 Unauthorized');
echo "Musisz podać poprawny login i hasło by wejść na tę stronę\n";
exit;
}
if (!isset($_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER']) || ($_POST['SeenBefore'] == 1 && $_POST['OldAuth'] == $_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER'])) {
authenticate();
}
else {
echo "<p>Witaj: {$_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER']}<br>";
echo "Poprzenio: {$_REQUEST['$OldAuth']}";
echo "<form action='{$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']}' METHOD='POST'>\n";
echo "<input type='hidden' name='SeenBefore' value='1'>\n";
echo "<input type='hidden' name='OldAuth' value='{$_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER']}'>\n";
echo "<input type='submit' value='Re Authenticate'>\n";
echo "</form></p>\n";
}
?>
|
|
Powyższa metoda nie jest wymagana przez autoryzację HTTP typu "Basic",
więc nie można na niej polegać. Testy z przeglądarką Lynx pokazały, że
Lynx nie usuwa danych o autoryzacji po odebraniu od serwera kodu 401,
zatem przejście wstecz a następnie do przodu otworzy stronę, chyba, że
wymagania co do danych autoryzacji zmieniły się. Użytkownik może jednak
użyć klawisza '_' by usunąc dane o autoryzacji.
Autoryzacja HTTP nie działa jeśli używasz serwera Microsoft IIS i
PHP w wersji CGI. Powodem są pewne ograniczenia IIS.
Notatka:
Jeśli włączony jest tryb bezpieczny,
uid skryptu jest doklejany do pola realm nagłówka
WWW-Authenticate.

A better example of the solution Brian was suggesting [admins: please delete my previous post]
logout.php:
<?php
if (!isset($_GET['quit'])) { ?>
<h4>To complete your log out, please click "OK" then "Cancel" in
this <a href="logout.php?quit=y">log in box</a>. Do not fill in a
password. This should clear your ID and password from the cache of your
browser.
<blockquote>Note: Logging in from this particular box is
disabled!</blockquote>
<p>Go <a href="/">back to the site</a>.</h4>
<?php
} else {
header('WWW-Authenticate: Basic realm="This Realm"');
header('HTTP/1.0 401 Unauthorized');
session_start();
session_unset();
session_destroy();
echo "<h3>Logged out!</h3><h4>Go <a href=\"/\">back to the site</a>.</h4>";
}
?>
Note: "This Realm" should be changed to precisely match the name of your realm in your main login.

I suggest to demand user's authentication and management to the web server (by .htaccess, ...):
1. configure a global /logon/ directory with a .htaccess file restricted access
2. use fopen wrapper:
$hh = @fopen("http://{$_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER']}:{$_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_PW']}".
@{$_SERVER['SERVER_NAME']}/logon/", "r");
if (!$hh) authenticate(); // usual header WWW-Authenticate ...
fclose($hh);

none of those 'logout' methods would work well.
Even tricky ones like using cookie to reset cache.
Do not waste your time on this.
Browsers want to keep username and password to help user anyway. Try closing the window, or telling user to restart browser.

Once more time about PHP through CGI.
Sometimes by some reasons (settings) web-server does not allow to set any environment variables through .htaccess file, so method offered by bernard dot paques at bigfoot dot com will not work.
Another way to solve this is to set some GET variable:
file .htaccess (it's just my example, maybe you can find better way):
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^$
RewriteRule ([^\s]+).php$ $1.php?BAD_HOSTING=%{HTTP:Authorization}
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^(.+)$
RewriteRule ([^\s]+).php $1.php?%1&BAD_HOSTING=%{HTTP:Authorization}
</IfModule>
a part of php file:
<?php
if((empty($_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER']) or empty($_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_PW'])) and isset($_REQUEST['BAD_HOSTING']) and preg_match('/Basic\s+(.*)$/i', $_REQUEST['BAD_HOSTING'], $matc))
list($_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER'], $_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_PW']) = explode(':', base64_decode($matc[1]));
?>

In the previous example it will not work in IE. In order to have a single script work on both IE and FireFox (and handle the cache problem), you need to use the $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'] variable to know which logout version to present to the user.
An full example can be seen in the url (could not post it here due to size restrictions):
http://www.free-php.org/index.php?
cat_select=HTTP&show=HTTP_Authentication
(URL split also due to size restrictions)

I came up with another approach to work around the problem of browsers caching WWW authentication credentials and creating logout problems. While most browsers have some kind of way to wipe this information, I prefer having my website to take care of the task instead of relying on the user's sanity.
Even with Lalit's method of creating a random realm name, it was still possible to get back into the protected area using the back button in Firefox, so that didn't work. Here's my solution:
Since browsers attach the credentials to specific URLs, use virtual paths where a component of the path is actually a PHP script, and everything following it is part of the URI, such as:
http://www.example.com/some_dir/login.php/auth/8f631b92/
By choosing a different number for the last component of the URL, browsers can be tricked into thinking that they are dealing with a completely different website, and thus prompting the user for credentials again.
Note that using a random, unrestricted number will still allow the user to hit the back button to get back into the page. You should keep track of this number in a server-side file or database and regenerate it upon each successful login, so that the last number(s) become invalid. Using an invalid number might result in a 403 response or, depending on how you feel that day, a 302 to a nasty website.
Care should be taken when linking from the page generated in this case, since relative links will be relative to the virtual and non-existant directory rather than the true script directory.
Hope this helps somebody.

A very simple HTTP Authentication script that solves the logout problem. I wasted a lot of time figuring out a way to logout. This one works perfectly fine.
<?php
function auth_user() {
$realm = mt_rand( 1, 1000000000 );
header('WWW-Authenticate: Basic realm="Realm ID='.$realm.']"');
header('HTTP/1.0 401 Unauthorized');
die("Unauthorized access forbidden!");
}
if (!isset($_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER'])) {
auth_user();
} else if (!isset($_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER'])) {
auth_user();
} else if ($_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER'] != $auser || $_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_PW'] != $apass) {
auth_user();
} else if (isset($_GET['action']) && $_GET['action'] == "logout") {
auth_user();
}
?>
Hope this helps,

It forces a auth each time the page is accessed:
(maybe can save someone)
<?
header("Expires: Sat, 01 Jan 2000 00:00:00 GMT");
header("Last-Modified: ".gmdate("D, d M Y H:i:s")." GMT");
header("Cache-Control: post-check=0, pre-check=0",false);
header("Pragma: no-cache");
session_cache_limiter("public, no-store");
session_start();
function http_auth()
{
$_SESSION['AUTH'] = 1;
header('HTTP/1.0 401 Unauthorized');
header('WWW-Authenticate: Basic realm="sn4g auth system"');
exit();
}
if( !isset($_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER']) or @$_SESSION['AUTH'] != 1 )
{
http_auth();
exit();
}
$_SESSION = array();
session_destroy();
?>

The example of Digest authorization is not completely correct.
There should be:
<?
header('WWW-Authenticate: Digest realm="'.$realm.'", qop="auth", nonce="'.uniqid("55").'", opaque="'.md5($realm).'"');
?>
Instead of
<?
header('WWW-Authenticate: Digest realm="'.$realm.'" qop="auth" nonce="'.uniqid("55").'" opaque="'.md5($realm).'"');
?>
Please note the commas.

else {
setcookie ("isin", "", time() - 3600);

bernard dot paques at bigfoot dot com
24-Sep-2004 01:42
This is another "patch" to the PHP_AUTH_USER and PHP_AUTH_PW server variables problem running PHP as a CGI.
First of all don't forget this fragment of code in your .htaccess (it's the only thing you need to make it work with mod_rewrite):
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule .* - [E=REMOTE_USER:%{HTTP:Authorization},L]
</IfModule>
Then login.php
<?php
$a = base64_decode( substr($_SERVER["REMOTE_USER"],6)) ;
if ( (strlen($a) == 0) || ( strcasecmp($a, ":" ) == 0 ))
{
header( 'WWW-Authenticate: Basic realm="Private"' );
header( 'HTTP/1.0 401 Unauthorized' );
}
else
{
list($name, $password) = explode(':', $a);
$_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER'] = $name;
$_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_PW'] = $password;
}
echo 'PHP_AUTH_USER =' . $_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER'] . '<br>';
echo 'PHP_AUTH_PW =' . $_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_PW'] . '<br>';
echo 'REMOTE_USER =' . $_SERVER['REMOTE_USER'] . '<br>';
?>
First, we decode the base64 encoded string discarding the first 6 characters of "Basic " and then we do a regular validation.
At the end of the script we print the variables to verify it's working. This should be ommited in the production version.
It's a variation of the script by Bernard Paques.
Thanks to him for that snippet.

My solution to the logout conondrum:
<?php
if($_GET[op] == 'logout')
{
header('WWW-Authenticate: Basic realm="Click \'Ok\' then \'Cancel\' to Log Out"');
header('HTTP/1.0 401 Unauthorized');
echo 'You have been successfully logged out. Click <a href="index.php">here</a> to log back in.');
die();
}
if(!isset($_SERVER[PHP_AUTH_USER]))
{
header('WWW-Authenticate: Basic realm="Site Login"');
header('HTTP/1.0 401 Unauthorized');
echo 'You must enter a valid username and password to access this resource.';
die();
}
else
{
echo "Welcome. <a href='index.php?op=logout'>Logout?</a>"
}
?>
I assume that if the user is reliable enough to even bother logging out, they are reliable enough to click "ok" then "cancel", thereby logging out and displaying the "logged out" message.

The approach described in the manual works only at servers where PHP is ran as an Apache module. Where PHP is ran as a CGI module, credentials are always empty, whether the user actually fills the authentication box or not.
Apparently the set of Apache variables exposed to PHP is restricted when PHP runs in CGI mode, and this explains why $_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER'] and $_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_PW'] are not set.
The solution is to select one Apache variable actually transmitted to PHP even in CGI mode, and to put in it authentication data submitted by the browser.
Look at the following directive added to the .htaccess file:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule .* - [E=REMOTE_USER:%{HTTP:Authorization},L]
</IfModule>
This directive states that, if mod_rewrite is available, credentials gathered from the HTTP header Authorization are put into the $_SERVER['REMOTE_USER'] variable.
To build up on RFC 2617 on HTTP Authentication, if the surfer wishes to send the userid "Aladdin" and password "open sesame", the browser will add the following header attribute to the HTTP request:
Authorization: Basic QWxhZGRpbjpvcGVuIHNlc2FtZQ==
Thanks to the rewrite directive put in .htaccess, the triggered PHP script will catch credentials through $_SERVER['REMOTE_USER'] as follows:
$_SERVER['REMOTE_USER'] = Basic QWxhZGRpbjpvcGVuIHNlc2FtZQ==
From there all you have to do is to decode base64 credentials, and to split the string to retrieve user name and password, as described into the RFC 2617.
Before you use $_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER'] and $_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_PW'], check if these variables are empty.
If yes, attempt to rebuild them by using $_SERVER['REMOTE_USER'].
The following snippet does exactly that:
<?php
if((!$_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER'] || !$_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER'])
&& preg_match('/Basics+(.*)$/i', $_SERVER['REMOTE_USER'], $matches)) {
list($name, $password) = explode(':', base64_decode($matches[1]));
$_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER'] = strip_tags($name);
$_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_PW'] = strip_tags($password);
}
?>
The full script used to build a secured RSS feed is available here:
http://www.yetanothercommunitysystem.com/yacs/scripts/
Of course, this trick works only if the mod_rewrite module is available, and if you have changed the .htaccess file as explained above.

on the php+mysql auth code by tigran at freenet dot am
There are some security weaknesses.
First
$user
and
$pass
are both insecure, they could leave this code open to SQL injection, you should always remove invalid characters in both, or at least encode them.
Actually storing passwords as MD5 hashes leaves you less work to secure.
Second security risks
The same mysql user has rights to both update and select, and possibly even insert and on your auth database no less.
Again the SQL inject attack may occur with this., and the end user could then change the users username, password, or anything else in relation to this.
Third items is more of a performance issue,
Do you really need to update the database, as updates are slower then selects, and if you do them every time they access the page, you are costing some speed penalty.
One option, if you want to use sql (I think mysql has it) is memory only databases, and create a table within memory, the stores a unique session identifier for each user, that is logged in, or alternatively if it's a single front end system, you could use db files.

There is a nice way to 'fix' missing REMOTE_USER env variable when using PHP as CGI, using mod_rewrite rule like this:
RewriteRule .* - [E=REMOTE_USER:%{HTTP:Authorization},L]

In Windows 2003 Server/IIS6 with the php4+ cgi I only get HTTP authentication working with:
<?php header("Status: 401 Access Denied"); ?>
with
<?php header('HTTP/1.0 401 Unauthorized'); ?>
doesn't work !
I also need in "Custom Errors" to select the range of "401;1" through "401;5" and click the "Set to Default" button.

Quite a good solution for the logout problem:
Just tell browser that it is successfully logged in!
This works as follows:
1. User clicks logout button
2. Script sends 401 Header
3. User does NOT enter a password
4. If no password is entered, script sends 200 Header
So the browser remembers no password as a valid password.
Example:
<?php
if (
(!isset($_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER']))
||(
($_GET["login"]=="login")
&& !(
($_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER']=="validuser")
&& ($_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_PW']=="validpass")
)
)
||(
($_GET["logout"]=="logout")
&& !($_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_PW']=="")
)
) {
Header("WWW-Authenticate: Basic realm=\"Realm\"");
Header("HTTP/1.0 401 Unauthorized");
echo "Not logged out...<br>\n";
echo "<a href=\"index.php?login=login\">Login</a>";
exit;
} else if ($_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_PW']=="") {
echo "Logged out...<br>\n";
echo "<a href=\"index.php?login=login\">Login</a>";
exit;
}
?>

Don't use apache authentification in plain text. Is more better to use own script to generete new ID which is relevant to password. Apache auth data are sent to every page, so the posible mistake are known.

In my use of HTTP Authentication, I've found that some Apache setups swap around the usual variables.
Here's the fix I made so that you can still use PHP_AUTH_USER and PHP_AUTH_PW. Hope it helps someone
<?php
if (isset($_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER']) && !isset($_ENV['REMOTE_USER']))
$_ENV['REMOTE_USER'] = $_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER'];
if (isset($_SERVER['AUTH_PASSWORD']) && !isset($_ENV['PHP_AUTH_PW']))
$_ENV['PHP_AUTH_PW'] = $_SERVER['AUTH_PASSWORD'];

Regarding HTTP authentication in IIS with the php cgi 4.3.4, there's one more step. I searched mightily and didn't find this information anywhere else, so here goes. When using HTTP auth with the php CGI, you need to do the following things:
1. In your php.ini file, set "cgi.rfc2616_headers = 0"
2. In Web Site Properties -> File/Directory Security -> Anonymous Access dialog box, check the "Anonymous access" checkbox and uncheck any other checkboxes (i.e. uncheck "Basic authentication," "Integrated Windows authentication," and "Digest" if it's enabled.) Click OK.
3. In "Custom Errors", select the range of "401;1" through "401;5" and click the "Set to Default" button.
It's this last step that is crucial, yet not documented anywhere. If you don't, instead of the headers asking for credentials, IIS will return its own fancy but useless 'you are not authenticated' page. But if you do, then the browser will properly ask for credentials, and supply them in the $_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_*'] elements.

Say you have password and groups files in standard Apache format (htpasswd etc.), but you want to apply authorization based on something other than filename, ie something you can't catch in .htaccess. You want to emulate the server behavior in PHP -- the equivalent of:
AuthType Basic
AuthName "Members"
AuthUserFile /path/to/.htpasswd
AuthGroupFile /path/to/.groups
require group Members
Here's what I came up with:
<?PHP
$AuthUserFile = file("/path/to/.htpasswd");
$AuthGroupFile = file("/path/to/.groups");
$group = "Members";
$realm = "Members";
function authenticate(){
header("WWW-Authenticate: Basic realm=\"$realm\"");
header('HTTP/1.0 401 Unauthorized');
echo "You must enter a valid user name and password to access the requested resource.";
exit;
}
for(; 1; authenticate()){
if (!isset($HTTP_SERVER_VARS['PHP_AUTH_USER']))
continue;
$user = $HTTP_SERVER_VARS['PHP_AUTH_USER'];
if(!preg_grep("/$group: $user$/", $AuthGroupFile)) continue;
if(!($authUserLine = array_shift(preg_grep("/$user:.*$/", $AuthUserFile))))
continue;
preg_match("/$user:((..).*)$/", $authUserLine, $matches);
$authPW = $matches[1];
$salt = $matches[2];
$submittedPW = crypt($HTTP_SERVER_VARS['PHP_AUTH_PW'], $salt);
if($submittedPW != $authPW)
continue;
break;
}
echo "You got in!"
?>

Here is a extremely easy way to successfully logout.
<?php
if ( $realm == '' )
$realm = mt_rand( 1, 1000000000 );
header( 'WWW-Authenticate: Basic realm='.$realm );
?>
To log the user out simply change the value of $realm

Hi there. Thought long and hard to come up with a logout mechanism that erases the variables $PHP_AUTH_USER and $PHP_AUTH_PW. Finally came up with something, it is better than nothing, hope somebody will find it usefull:
logout.php:
<?
header("Location: http://EnterYourUserName:YourPassword@ServerRoot".$PHP_SELF);
exit;
?>
"EnterYourUserName" and "YourPassword" will be the two variables new value, while "ServerRoot" is your server's domainname (like www.somedomain.com).
You should ensure, that nobody will use "EnterYourUserName" as it's login name.
Happy coding.

The method described in the text does not appear to work with PHP in cgi mode and Apache-2.x. I seems that Apache has gotten stricter or introduced a bug such that you can initiate the authentication, but Apache seems to try to authenticate the browser response which always fails because it does not know what to authenticate against and the headers never get passed back to the PHP script.
I didn't try it with PHP as a module.
25-Apr-2003 02:02
@emmanuel dot keller at net2000 dot ch:
The behaviour you report bases on the fact that PHP installed as a CGI program must send CGI status messages instead of HTTP return codes. Therefore, anywhere you normally send "HTTP/1.0 xyz", you have to send "Status: xyz".

To clear HTTP authentication cache in Internet Explorer (6 SP1 and later), use "ClearAuthenticationCache" command.
document.execCommand("ClearAuthenticationCache");

Some servers won't support the HTTP1.0 specification and will give an error 500 (for instance). This happened with a server where I uploaded an authentication script.
If it happens, you can try the HTTP1.1 header syntax :
<?php
header("WWW-Authenticate: Basic realm=\"My Realm\"");
header('status: 401 Unauthorized');
?>

Here is my solution - works in MSIE and Mozilla.
I use http-authentication only for the first time user accesses his
private page; after valid username and password are provided, he is
recognized using his sessionID and ip ...
the reasons are following:
1) when users changes his password it is not required instantly
(I find this quite comfortable)
2) auto-login function works fine (unless user click logout)
And here's how i works ...
The "trick" is to pass a temporary username+password to the browser.
(I call it "temporary" because no user account matching these
parameters is neccessary.)
The most essential thing is the following link on user's private page:
===
<? $url = "http://".
$username. ":".
Session_ID(). "@localhost/".PROJECT_NAME."/logout.phtml";
?>
<a href="<?=$url?>">logout</a>
===
1) we pass the actual username because MSIE uses this username as
a "default pre-fill" for the login-window and some hash-string
would confuse the users.
2) the temporary password is not too important, but there are
two things we expect from it:
a) we need to know this string in the logout.phtml script
b) the string definetely should not match the user's password
(otherwise user gets logged back instantly); using current
Session_ID() we are pretty sure this won't happen
This link causes that the temporary login-params are available in
the logout.phtml script.
Using "www-authenticate" header in the logout.phtml script we force
the browser to accept our temporary login-params. (I suppose browser
actually repeats the request and the next time it checks
the login-params sent in the URL; but this is only my guess and
it is not important.)
The logout.phtml code:
===
<? $query = "UPDATE users SET sessionID = NULL ".
"WHERE sessionID = '".Session_ID()."'";
$mysql->query($query);
if($PHP_AUTH_PW != Session_ID()) {
Header("HTTP/1.0 401 Unauthorized");
Header("WWW-Authenticate: Basic realm=\"".PROJECT_NAME."\"");
}
?>

</head>
<body>
<a href="http://localhost/<?=PROJECT_NAME?>/main.phtml">continue</a>
</body>
</html>
===
About the "continue" link: the link is not too important, but using it
we can get rid off the temporary login-params which wouldn't look
too aesthetically in the address-bar. :o)

I have written a class for HTTP Authentication in PHP. Anyone looking for a shortcut can get it from: http://sourceforge.net/projects/httpauthplus
Feel free to make suggestions and contributions to the class. It needs some improvement.
05-Jun-2002 11:08
A more elegant way to force a new name/password, cf. example 17-2 (if you don't mind passing the old user in the query string):
<?
if (isset($PHP_AUTH_USER))
{
if (!isset($prev_user))
{
header("Location: http://$HTTP_HOST$PHP_SELF?prev_user=$PHP_AUTH_USER");
exit;
}
else
{
if ($PHP_AUTH_USER == $prev_user)
{
header('WWW-Authenticate: Basic realm="Secure"');
header('HTTP/1.0 401 Unauthorized');
exit;
}
}
}
else
{
header('WWW-Authenticate: Basic realm="Secure"');
header('HTTP/1.0 401 Unauthorized');
exit;
}
?>
The final set of headers is necessary because some browsers seem to unset $PHP_AUTH_USER when the location header is sent.

The definitive HTTP authorization code:
<?php
function login_error()
{
echo "error - login process failed."
}
if (!isset($PHP_AUTH_USER))
{
header("WWW-Authenticate: Basic realm=\"Mosaic Authorization process\"");
header("HTTP/1.0 401 Unauthorized");
login_error();
}
else
{
if('=>test on login and password<=')
{
...
...
}
else
{
header( "WWW-Authenticate: Basic realm=\"Test Authentication System\"");
header("HTTP/1.0 401 Unauthorized");
login_error();
}
}
?>

I tried the method posted by
tigran@freenet.am for a logout feature, which seems to be a problem for users of http authentication. Tigran's method is perfect, except that after you log out, you can STILL access the pages by clicking on "cancel" when prompted again by the Java window.
This will trigger the 401 error. But it will also create an entry in the history folder.
You will notice the "forward" button on your browser becomes clickable. You only have to click on the that "forward" button to be able to access the protected pages.
I have found a solution for this problem by using a little Javascript to refresh to another page.
Please go to my website for details:

To get it to work with IIS try using this code before setting your "$auth = 0" and the "if (isset($PHP_AUTH_USER) && isset($PHP_AUTH_PW))"
<?php
if ($PHP_AUTH_USER == "" && $PHP_AUTH_PW == "" && ereg("^Basic ", $HTTP_AUTHORIZATION))
{
list($PHP_AUTH_USER, $PHP_AUTH_PW) =
explode(":", base64_decode(substr($HTTP_AUTHORIZATION, 6)));
}
?>
It worked for me on IIS 5 and PHP 4 in ISAPI

Thanks to yasuo_ohgaki@hotmail.com for the rfc note needed to solve this one. This looks like it flushed out the authentication headers on both Netscape and IE:
Header("WWW-Authenticate: Basic realm=\"Whatever Realm\", stale=FALSE");

Good day.I've solved a problem where IE4 asks for the age one more time after a 401, defeating sending a 401 once to force a user to log on again.
<?php
function authenticate() {
setcookie("noauth","");
Header( "WWW-authenticate: Basic realm=\"test\"");
Header( "HTTP/1.0 401 Unauthorized");
echo "You must enter user name";
exit ;
}
if ( !isset($PHP_AUTH_USER) || ($logoff==1) && $noauth=="yes" ) {
authenticate();
}
?>
And logoff link -
<a href="samehtml.phtml?logoff=1">Logoff</a></td>

Here is a code for the public sites enabling both logout bottom and timeout using php+mysql. Working for both browsers.
The part "required" for each user protected page:
<?
function auth () {
Header("WWW-Authenticate: Basic realm=\"ArmFN public site\"");
Header("HTTP/1.0 401 Unauthorized");
echo "You have to authentificate yourself first \n";
exit;
}
mysql_connect("localhost","train","") or die("Unable to connect to SQL server");
mysql_select_db( "train") or die( "Unable to select database");
if(!isset($PHP_AUTH_USER)) {
$timeout = mktime(date(G),date(i)+10,0,date("m"),date("d"),date("Y"));
mysql_query("update users set login='$timeout' where id='$user' and pasw='$pass'") or die("k");
auth();
} else {
$pass = $PHP_AUTH_PW;
$user = $PHP_AUTH_USER;
$nowtime = mktime(date(G),date(i),0,date("m"),date("d"),date("Y"));
$quer2 = mysql_query("select * from users where id='$user' and pasw='$pass' and login > '$nowtime'") or die("kuk2");
if (mysql_num_rows($quer2) == "0") {
$timeout = mktime(date(G),date(i)+10,0,date("m"),date("d"),date("Y"));
mysql_query("update users set login='$timeout' where id='$user' and pasw='$pass'") or die("k");
auth();
}
}
?>
You can have a "logout" bottom with hidden $go="logout" form element and then have somewhere this part:
if ($do == "logout") {
mysql_connect("localhost","train","") or die("Unable to connect to SQL server");
mysql_select_db( "train") or die( "Unable to select database");
mysql_query("update users set login=0 where id='$PHP_AUTH_USER' and pasw='$PHP_AUTH_PW'") or die("k");
}

I had the same problem as above (that is, with apache I can't get the auth info). The solution I found goes like this:
<?php
$headers = getallheaders();
$auth=$headers['authorization'];
if ($auth=='') { $auth=$headers['Authorization']; }
if($auth=='')
{
Header("WWW-Authenticate: Basic realm=\"$PROG_NAME\"");
Header("HTTP/1.0 401 Unauthorized");
}
?>
list($user, $pass) = explode(":", base64_decode(substr($auth, 6)));
