<h1 id="5501">Autenticación y Autorizacion</h1>
<p id="720549" class="block-content">
Autenticación es un proceso de verificacion de alguna persona cuando esta dice ser quien es. Usualmente se utiliza para esto un nombre de usuario y un contraseña, pero podría incluir otros métodos para demostrar su identidad, tales como tarjetas inteligentes, huellas digitales, etc.
</p>
<p id="720550" class="block-content">
Autorización es el proceso de saber si la persona, una vez indetificada, esta permitida a manipular recursos especificos. Esto es comunmente determinado conociendo si la persona tiene un rol especifico que le da acceso a los recursos solicitados.
</p>
<h2 id="5502">Funcionamiento de la Autenticación y Autorizacion en PRADO</h2>
<p id="720551" class="block-content">
PRADO proporciona una capa extensible de autenticacion/autirizacion. Como esta descrito en el <a href="">Ciclo de vida de una aplicacion PRADO</a>, <tt>TApplication</tt> reserva diversos modulos del ciclo de vida, responsables de la autenticacion y la autorizacion. PRADO proporciona el modulo <tt>TAuthManager</tt> para este propósito. Los desarrolladores pueden incorporar sus propios modulos de autenticacion/autorizacion (auth) facilmente.
<tt>TAuthManager</tt> esta diseñado para ser usado en conjunto con el modulo <tt>TUserManager</tt>, el cual implementa una base de datos de usuarios de solo lectura (read-only).
</p>
<p id="720552" class="block-content">
When a page request occurs, <tt>TAuthManager</tt> will try to restore user information from session. If no user information is found, the user is considered as an anonymous or guest user. To facilitate user identity verification, <tt>TAuthManager</tt> provides two commonly used methods: <tt>login()</tt> and <tt>logout()</tt>. A user is logged in (verified) if his username and password entries match a record in the user database managed by <tt>TUserManager</tt>. A user is logged out if his user information is cleared from session and he needs to re-login if he makes new page requests.
</p>
<p id="720553" class="block-content">
During <tt>Authorization</tt> application lifecycle, which occurs after <tt>Autenticación</tt> lifecycle, <tt>TAuthManager</tt> will verify if the current user has access to the requested page according to a set of authorization rules. The authorization is role-based, i.e., a user has access to a page if 1) the page explicitly states that the user has access; 2) or the user is of a particular role that has access to the page. If the user does not have access to the page, <tt>TAuthManager</tt> will redirect user browser to the login page which is specified by <tt>LoginPage</tt> property.
</p>
<h2 id="5503">Using PRADO Auth Framework</h2>
<p id="720554" class="block-content">
To enable PRADO auth framework, add the <tt>TAuthManager</tt> module and <tt>TUserManager</tt> module to <a href="">application configuration</a>,
</p>
<com:TTextHighlighter Language="xml" CssClass="source block-content" id="code1">
<service id="page" class="TPageService">
<modules>
<module id="auth" class="System.Security.TAuthManager"
UserManager="users" LoginPage="UserLogin" />
<module id="users" class="System.Security.TUserManager"
PasswordMode="Clear">
<user name="demo" password="demo" />
<user name="admin" password="admin" />
</module>
</modules>
</service>
</com:TTextHighlighter>
<p id="720555" class="block-content">
In the above, the <tt>UserManager</tt> property of <tt>TAuthManager</tt> is set to the <tt>users</tt> module which is <tt>TUserManager</tt>. Developers may replace it with a different user management module that is derived from <tt>TUserManager</tt>.
</p>
<p id="720556" class="block-content">
Authorization rules for pages are specified in <a href="">page configurations</a> as follows,
</p>
<com:TTextHighlighter Language="xml" CssClass="source block-content" id="code2">
<authorization>
<allow pages="PageID1,PageID2"
users="User1,User2"
roles="Role1" />
<deny pages="PageID1,PageID2"
users="?"
verb="post" />
</authorization>
</com:TTextHighlighter>
<p id="720557" class="block-content">
An authorization rule can be either an <tt>allow</tt> rule or a <tt>deny</tt> rule. Each rule consists of four optional properties:
</p>
<ul id="u1" class="block-content">
<li><tt>pages</tt> - list of comma-separated page names that this rule applies to. If empty, not set or wildcard '*', this rule will apply to all pages under the current directory and all its subdirectories recursively.</li>
<li><tt>users</tt> - list of comma-separated user names that this rule applies to. If empty, not set or wildcard '*', this rule will apply to all users including anonymous/guest user. A character ? refers to anonymous/guest user. And a character @ refers to authenticated users (available since v3.1).</li>
<li><tt>roles</tt> - list of comma-separated user roles that this rule applies to. If empty, not set or wildcard '*', this rule will apply to all user roles.</li>
<li><tt>verb</tt> - page access method that this rule applies to. It can be either <tt>get</tt> or <tt>post</tt>. If empty, not set or wildcard '*', the rule will apply to both methods.</li>
</ul>
<p id="720558" class="block-content">
When a page request is being processed, a list of authorization rules may be available. However, only the <i>first effective</i> rule <i>matching</i> the current user will render the authorization result.
</p>
<ul id="u2" class="block-content">
<li>Rules are ordered bottom-up, i.e., the rules contained in the configuration of current page folder go first. Rules in configurations of parent page folders go after.</li>
<li>A rule is effective if the current page is in the listed pages of the rule AND the current user action (<tt>get</tt> or <tt>post</tt>) is in the listed actions.</li>
<li>A rule matching occurs if the current user name is in the listed user names of an <i>effective</i> rule OR if the user's role is in the listed roles of that rule.</li>
<li>If no rule matches, the user is authorized.</li>
</ul>
<p id="720559" class="block-content">
In the above example, anonymous users will be denied from posting to <tt>PageID1</tt> and <tt>PageID2</tt>, while <tt>User1</tt> and <tt>User2</tt> and all users of role <tt>Role1</tt> can access the two pages (in both <tt>get</tt> and <tt>post</tt> methods).
</p>
<com:SinceVersion Version="3.1.1" />
<p class="block-content">
Since version 3.1.1, the <tt>pages</tt> attribute in the authorization rules can take relative page paths with wildcard '*'. For example, <tt>pages="admin.Home"</tt> refers to the <tt>Home</tt> page under the <tt>admin</tt> directory, and <tt>pages="admin.*"</tt> would refer to all pages under the <tt>admin</tt> directory and subdirectories.
</p>
<p class="block-content">
Also introduced in version 3.1.1 are IP rules. They are specified by a new attribute <tt>ips</tt> in authorization rules. The IP rules are used to determine if an authorization rule aplies to an end-user according to his IP address. One can list a few IPs together, separated by comma ','. Wildcard '*' can be used in the rules. For example, <tt>ips="192.168.0.2, 192.168.1.*"</tt> means the rule applies to users whose IP address is 192.168.0.2 or 192.168.1.*. The latter matches any host in the subnet 192.168.1. If the attribute 'ips' is empty, not set or wildcard '*', the corresponding rule will apply to requests coming from any host address.
</p>
<h2 id="5504">Using <tt>TUserManager</tt></h2>
<p id="720560" class="block-content">
As aforementioned, <tt>TUserManager</tt> implements a read-only user database. The user information are specified in either application configuration or an external XML file.
</p>
<p id="720561" class="block-content">
We have seen in the above example that two users are specified in the application configuration. Complete syntax of specifying the user and role information is as follows,
</p>
<com:TTextHighlighter Language="xml" CssClass="source block-content" id="code3">
<user name="demo" password="demo" roles="demo,admin" />
<role name="admin" users="demo,demo2" />
</com:TTextHighlighter>
<p id="720562" class="block-content">
where the <tt>roles</tt> attribute in <tt>user</tt> element is optional. User roles can be specified in either the <tt>user</tt> element or in a separate <tt>role</tt> element.
</p>
<h2 id="5505">Using <tt>TDbUserManager</tt></h2>
<p id="720563" class="block-content">
<tt>TDbUserManager</tt> is introduced in v3.1.0. Its main purpose is to simplify the task of managing user accounts that are stored in a database. It requires developers to write a user class that represents the necessary information for a user account. The user class must extend from <tt>TDbUser</tt>.
</p>
<p id="720564" class="block-content">
To use <tt>TDbUserManager</tt>, configure it in the application configuration like following:
</p>
<com:TTextHighlighter Language="xml" CssClass="source block-content" id="code4">
<module id="db"
class="System.Data.TDataSourceConfig" ..../>
<module id="users"
class="System.Security.TDbUserManager"
UserClass="Path.To.MyUserClass"
ConnectionID="db" />
<module id="auth"
class="System.Security.TAuthManager"
UserManager="users" LoginPage="Path.To.LoginPage" />
</com:TTextHighlighter>
</p>
<p id="720565" class="block-content">
In the above, <tt>UserClass</tt> specifies what class will be used to create user instance. The class must extend from <tt>TDbUser</tt>. <tt>ConnectionID</tt> refers to the ID of a <tt>TDataSourceConfig</tt> module which specifies how to establish database connection to retrieve user information.
</p>
<p id="720566" class="block-content">
The user class has to implement the two abstract methods in <tt>TDbUser</tt>: <tt>validateUser()</tt> and <tt>createUser()</tt>. Since user account information is stored in a database, the user class may make use of its <tt>DbConnection</tt> property to reach the database.
</p>
<com:SinceVersion Version="3.1.1" />
<p id="720567" class="block-content">
Since 3.1.1, <tt>TAuthManager</tt> provides support to allow remembering login by setting <tt>AllowAutoLogin</tt> to true. Accordingly, <tt>TDbUser</tt> adds two methods to facilitate the implementation of this feature. In particular, two new methods are introduced: <tt>createUserFromCookie()</tt> and <tt>saveUserToCookie()</tt>. Developers should implement these two methods if remembering login is needed. Below is a sample implementation:
</p>
<com:TTextHighlighter Language="php" CssClass="source block-content" id="code5">
public function createUserFromCookie($cookie)
{
if(($data=$cookie->Value)!=='')
{
$application=Prado::getApplication();
if(($data=$application->SecurityManager->validateData($data))!==false)
{
$data=unserialize($data);
if(is_array($data) && count($data)===3)
{
list($username,$address,$token)=$data;
$sql='SELECT passcode FROM user WHERE LOWER(username)=:username';
$command=$this->DbConnection->createCommand($sql);
$command->bindValue(':username',strtolower($username));
if($token===$command->queryScalar() && $token!==false && $address=$application->Request->UserHostAddress)
return $this->createUser($username);
}
}
}
return null;
}
public function saveUserToCookie($cookie)
{
$application=Prado::getApplication();
$username=strtolower($this->Name);
$address=$application->Request->UserHostAddress;
$sql='SELECT passcode FROM user WHERE LOWER(username)=:username';
$command=$this->DbConnection->createCommand($sql);
$command->bindValue(':username',strtolower($username));
$token=$command->queryScalar();
$data=array($username,$address,$token);
$data=serialize($data);
$data=$application->SecurityManager->hashData($data);
$cookie->setValue($data);
}
