Hi
I wrote a perl web application, and now I want
to add authentication to it. After some thought I
decided to do a textfile based authentication.
I wrote a script which asks for a username and password,
and the passwd file gets appended with username and
crypt(ed) password.
I also wrote the web authentication part, where a form
accepts a username and password, and then reads the
passwd file, and checks if the passwd is correct or not.
Now If the password is correct, I want to redirect the user to
my application. How can I do this?
Also how can I prevent the user from directly executing
the main script(webapp). Is there a way I can maintain a session,
and in the beginning of each script check if session is valid or
not?
Thanks in advance
