I have just setup a LoginManager following the LoginManager with SQL and Skinscripts by dlpierson.

Now I'm thinking about how to setup security for my LoginManager. At the moment it's very open for anyone who has DTML permissions on my lab server. Not so great.

LoginManager has premissions set to:

Manager --- All Anonymous --- "Access contents information", "Use Database Methods" "Acquire permission settings?" --- None

Now, this is needed to allow Anonymous user to login. But it also makes it possible for a Anonymous to access the following DTML Method in the root folder:

<dtml-var standard_html_header> <pre> <b>test.acl_users.getUser('a').username</b> <dtml-with test> <dtml-with acl_users> getUser('c').username: <dtml-var "getUser('c').username"> getUser('c').password: <dtml-var "getUser('c').password"> getUser('c').getRoles: <dtml-var "getUser('c').getRoles()"> </dtml-with> </dtml-with> </pre> <pre> <b>dtml-in "sql_getUserFor(username='c')"</b> <dtml-with test> <dtml-with acl_users> <dtml-in "sql_getUserFor(username='c')"> username: <dtml-var username> password: <dtml-var password> </dtml-in> </dtml-with> </dtml-with> <dtml-var standard_html_footer>

Which returns (where there is a user named 'c'):

test.acl_users.getUser('a').username getUser('c').username: c getUser('c').password: d getUser('c').getRoles: ['test']

dtml-in "sql_getUserFor(username='c')" username: c password: d

Now the question is how (and where) should I configure permissions so LoginManager gets secured?

Ok, problem solved. 1. Removed the Anonymous access, which will secure the LoginManager. 2. Add permissions to: LoggingIn --- "Access contents information", "Use Database Methods" 3. Add LoggingIn proxy role to the SkinScript. Regards, Johan Carlsson
