common auth API for CI
This page is a kind of RFC for building a common API for authentication libraries. Since there is no such core lib, at least we could decide a common interface.
Feel free to add/edit/delete, but if you do so, please fill in the small notes field below the edit area.
Quoting benlm, we could start with this structure:
Level 1 would be a library which would have functions like login, logout, register etc. that handle the DB manipulation, sessions, etc. but no views.
Level 2 would have the basic form validation and processing code with defined form parameters and a dead-simple sample view for each (No flash messages, no containers/templates etc.)
Level 3 would have the kitchen sink (views,flash messages, emails sent on password change, etc. with a million configurable parameters)
