Release: [Kohana Module] Authlite, for User Authentication
Latest release: v1.2.3
Initially I was going to wait for my Layerful Framework (a transparent layering framework for Kohana) to mature before releasing its bundled modules. However, since this Authlite module can be used independently to Layerful, I am releasing it now.
What is Authlite
Authlite is a user authentication module for Kohana.
What’s the difference between Authlite and Auth?
Kohana comes with an official Auth module which does exactly what was described in the last paragraph, so why another module then?
It is because Authlite offers greater flexibilty. Please read the features outlined below to find more.
Features
- Legacy database compatibility
- Configurable database columns
- Multiple instances of Authlite
- Does not enforce user roles
- Auth-like syntax and usage
- Lightweight
