Hi, Can anyone recommend some public domain Linux-based software that'll let users who want to access a web site submit an email address and have an auto-generated password be mailed to them at that address? What I want to do is what you've probably seen on a dozen sites: if you want in, you have to submit a request that includes your email address, and if approved then a password will be sent to the email address you gave, after which you can login with your email+password. Yes, I could figure out how to do this using .htaccess and some scripting, but I'm hoping someone else has already solved this problem for the world with a spiff UI so I can spend my time on other things. Nice-to-have but of course not necessary are: - forwards password requests to the webmaster for approval - updates all relevant .htaccess files - automagically generates passwords for new users (presumably using htpasswd) The Deluxe version would include: - datamodel: directories, users, email addresses and passwords - users, email address and passwords are stored in some kind of database (MySQL preferred) - browser-based administration by webmaster - checkbox selection of web site directories to which access will be granted I'm just trying to get as close to this as I can before I start writing code. Any help much appreciated TIA. ............................................................................
