I’ve inherited many 4D databases over the years and some have a custom password system and some use the built in 4D system or a hybrid approach. I know that 4D also allows authentication via Active Directory (single sign on) but I’ve not implemented that. So, I’m looking to enhance a few legacy systems and wanted to consider my authentication strategy... I’ll probably want to keep the users and groups in the data file so that the data would always be valid after structure changes and to store more data about each user. Also, what if users could register on the system and use the system to reset passwords and such just like a public web site, this would lighten the load for the admin... I know this was all the rage 20 years ago. So, have you rolled your own password system in 4D? What are the key benefits in your situation?
