Post subject: Important information about TigerU.com |
  |
|
Do not forget to log out when using a public computer (ie. in the library, another comp lab, etc.)
Even if you close out the browser windows, the site will keep you "logged on" until the cookies are deleted, or you return to log out. This means that whenever someone else goes to TigerU.com, it'll automatically log them in as you. SO... just log out when you're done.
Thanks,
Ichi

Ichi is speaking from MY experience lol.. well I guess it was his experience too. I once forgot to log out of TigerU while on a library computer and he happened to get on the same computer I was on. He got on TigerU and it was still on my screenname. So it can happen. I almost forgot to log out of the site earlier today. Closed out the browser and was about to leave when I suddenly remembered. I got back on the site and sure enough, I was still logged in.

?set the time-to-live at 30 minutes would be a start.
This would be a big hassle for the site users.

easy enough with php..this should work with a lil modification to fit the site...i ripped it from an old site I did a few years back...
this sets the cookie to expire when all the broswer windows are closed
| Code: |
/*creates unique key for the cookie*/
srand((double)microtime()*1000000);
$unique_key = md5(rand(0,9999999));
/*sets cookie name to SessionID with a value of the random unique key that will self destruct when the browser windows are closed*/
setcookie("TigerU_SessionID", $unique_key);
|
this would be in a header type file that checks the cookie info against a dbase table of authorized keys and deletes and updates cookie entries in the Dbase and kicks expired users in the arse..the time could be set to whatever
| Code: |
/*open database connection*/
**info removed but you know how to do this**
/*gets the unique key from the cookie that was set on the login page*/
$the_cookie=$_COOKIE["TigerU_SessionID"];
//print "<p>".$the_cookie;
$basepath = "http://".$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'].$_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];
$url="http: //".$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']."/timeout.php;
/* this will kick the user back out even it there is a valid key in the database containing '', it will also prevent people from gaining easy unlawful entry to the site by setting an aptly named cookie with a value of '' */
if ($the_cookie == '')
{
Header("Location:$url");
exit;
}
/* sets a query to delete any expired users */
$killKeyS = ("delete from auth_keys where time_stp < from_unixtime(unix_timestamp(now())-900)");
/* sets up the query to check for a valid key */
$isAuthQuery = "SELECT * FROM auth_keys WHERE auth_key='$the_cookie'";
/* sets up a query to update the time stamp in the auth_keys table so that the key will not be erased as long as the user is active (auth_keys records are deleted upon execution of the login script */
$timeUpdateQuery = "UPDATE auth_keys SET time_stp=now() WHERE auth_key = '$the_cookie'";
/* deletes expired keys then checks for a valid key */
$killKeyQ = mysql_query($killKeyS,$link);
$isAuth = mysql_query($isAuthQuery,$link);
if ($authData = mysql_fetch_row($isAuth))
{
mysql_query($timeUpdateQuery,$link);
}
else
{
/*if the user has timed out or tried to access the page via a bookmark this will kick the browser to the timeout page*/
Header("Location:$url");
exit;
}

Sounds like a very good idea. I went on a computer at Middleton Library yesterday that ended up having a TigerUser logged in. I logged it off and later caught up with the respective account-holder about it, but she said that she hadn't used that particular computer recently.

Hey, I intentionally didn't mention the account-holder's name, so they could remain anonymous!
