Hi Guys, I have to setup an online database of our clients details so they can log in and see all their latest transactions and stuff...
I have written most of the app already using perl with CGI::Application and HTML::Template (and of course DBI..) However, one thing concerns me.. session management.. I could use CGI::Session to do the job, (previously, for non secret stuff, I have just set a cookie and used that to validate login.. but cookies are not secure enough for this applicaion.) After much reading and searching, I found it said many times that session management was best done by the web server not the application... can anyone extrapolate on that? Is there a cross platform way of doing it??? something I could move over to one of our other servers.. (maybe even the one IIS box we have..) or should I just use CGI::Session with MySQL lookups to do it??? In the same vein, can .htaccess files be setup to use MySQL tables to validate users??? Any tips would be much appreciated. regards Frank
