Still searching for authentication

  • I generally like RegisterMe! but it's missing a couple of key features. So I'm sitting down to actually write down what I need it to do for me.
  • Required features
    • User chooses ID and password
    • Built-in password recovery
    • Admin notification of new users (should be able to do this myself with welcome.cgi-type idea)
    • Admin approves new users
    • Hidden & uneditable field, filled in by admin
    • Gang delete (will be killing dozens or hundreds of accounts at the end of each semester)
    • Probably need a way to embed into my html, rather than reading template. Unless they can provide SSI capability
  • Nice to have
    • Verification email (double opt-in)
    • Expiration
    • Fixed default expiration date (end of semester)
    • Groups
  • Going through all the scripts at the CGI Resource Index again
  • RegisterMe! is missing admin notification, gang delete and expiration
  • Locked Area uses a popup box to log in
  • Ubidog doesn't appear to have hidden, uneditable field
  • Password Administrator+ doesn't have gang delete
  • PasswordRobot might have everything I need
