SMF Secure Login

[青山 素子]

Dear Motoko-chan,

I am not trying to be difficult,  but where is this option located?  Under what menu and tab?

**snip**

Disable administration security  

It should be right below that item. Do you see anything, even a checkbox with blank text? Are you using a custom theme?

[icoso]

There is a check box with no text.   Should I check it?  If yes, then what ?

I just did an install from my Fantastico Suite in my CPanel then installed your SMF Secure Login.

Thanks.

Ah, you are probably using Fantastico's broken UTF-8 install (which doesn't install properly). I think that mod is from before I started adding install strings for UTF-8.

If you want the text, copy the lines from Modifications.english.php to Modifications.english-utf8.php.

Can you define the advantages of installing this mod?  I will be getting SSL in the near future.

[青山 素子]

It keeps any possible intermediaries from sniffing passwords. Some forums might want the extra security, others might not. Of course, if you are getting an SSL certificate for your site, or have one already, you probably already know if you want this mod.

I had wanted it in the past, and seeing as I'm upgrading for the dedicated IP, and the ssl comes free, and I couldn't do it before because of this, I'm pretty sure I want.

I've been using this mod for a while, and it works great for me--I only have one problem, which is that my url differs from what is on the certificate. Shared hosting, the certificate uses the server name, and so it shows a warning, which confuses my users. Is there any way I can manually set the securescript url to match the certificate?

I'm using SMF 1.1.8
My forum is at hxxp:phorum.theworldaccordingtokang.com [nonactive]
The url I want to use for the secure login is hxxp:phorum.alphanum.server297.com/ [nonactive]

If this doesn't make sense, I can try to explain better.

[青山 素子]

You can edit the URL being built in QueryString.php. Open the file and do a search for "// Build the secure version of the string.".

The problem you'll probably run into is that the login is taking place on a completely different domain. Cookies and possibly the login itself won't carry over well if at all. (Cookies won't for sure.)

[Ming the Merciless]

Thank you for the help, Motoko-Chan. I'll evaluate my options and go from there.

[Adan Enrique]

and, could you make a HTTPS secure register mode in SMF? other sites as WL Hotmail they have this.

could you make this possible?

Thanks for all and great mod

Please update mod to RC5

[青山 素子]

I'll work on it as soon as I get the time. I know it's been a while, but I really do want to get it updated and working.

[Jiggly Puff]

Please update mod to RC5

Yes, please update this ASAP! I really need it!

[青山 素子]

I'll do it as soon as I have time. If you want to pay my salary for a few days so that I can take time off from my day job to update my modifications, I could probably them much faster.

[Groovy™]

If you already have time to visit a forum so often ... then please take some time to update the mod to RC5, because it really is very much needed
I hope you understand me

There is replying to posts, then there is working on code. I have very busy days lately (debugging a WebORB Flash/FLEX and .NET application took up my day), and don't often feel much like continuing code when I get home.

As I said earlier:

I had this mod installed quite a while back, say around SMF 1.1.11, then had multiple errors when I tried to update it, looked at the manual install and gave up.

Now I"m on 1.1.14, got the latest version of the mod and it still honked up the pre-install test, so I hunkered down with an editor and did it manually.

I can run with the forum accessed as "https" just fine, so the cert's working, but how can I tell that logins from http are secure? Can I get any indication?

Thanks for the mod, and any help!

Bill
