==About==
==About==
The login feature consists of several filesets:
The login feature handles user/session authentication. It consists of three main phases:
* '''{{l/sub|data}}''' ({{l/ferreteria/code|login}}) - core data and storage I/O classes
* [[/submit]]: checking user's submitted credentials
* '''{{l/sub|dropin}}''' ({{l/ferreteria/code|dropins/login}}) - admin display I/O
* [[/session]]: checking Session cookie
* '''{{l/sub|status}}''' ({{l/ferreteria/code|login/status.php}}) - login status class
* [[/logout]]: handling of user logout
* (TBD) - form widgets
==Process==
There are two major phases of a logged-in session:
* 1. right after the user has attempted a login: if login is successful, the user's browser is given a session-cookie to use and is then immediately redirected (to clear out the POST input, thus preventing accidental multiple logins) and we go to phase 2.
* 2. when we need to check the user's session-cookie before we can know whether they're logged in or not (i.e. most of the time)
===writing login status===
There are two ways the login status can be set: (a) actively logging in, (b) checking authenticity of a requested session
====logging in====
(Session Native Row)<code>->UserLogin($sUser,$sPass)</code>
* &rarr; (Account Feature)<code>->AuthorizeLogin($sUser,$sPass)</code>
** &rarr; (Account Storage Row)<code>->AuthorizeLogin($sUser,$sPass)</code>
*** &rarr; csLogin::SetSuccess({{arg|success?}}, {{arg|login name}})


====authenticating session====
Code files/filesets involved include:
(Session Feature)<code>->UserIsLoggedIn()</code>
* {{l/ferreteria/code|login}} - core data and storage I/O classes -- see {{l/sub|data}}
* &rarr; <code>NativeRow()->UserIsLoggedIn()</code>
* {{l/ferreteria/code|dropins/login}} - admin display I/O
 
* {{l/ferreteria/code|login/status.php}} - login status class
===reading login status===
* form widgets:
 
** {{l/ferreteria/code|tree/page/LoginWidget.php}}
 
*** {{l/ferreteria/code|tree/page/LoginWidget_block.php}}
Example: see code in <code>cMenuLink->FigureIfAuthorized()</code> in {{l/ferreteria/code|tree/items/MenuLink.php}}
*** {{l/ferreteria/code|tree/page/LoginWidget_inline.php}}
* This is called once per object from <code>ftRequiresPermit->OnRunCalculations()</code> in {{l/ferreteria/code|tree/items/traits.php}}.
** {{l/ferreteria/code|tree/page/traits-login.php}}
