Simple Invoices login system

Simple Invoices has an optional login system to allow you to protect your install of Simple Invoices with a username/password system

To enable this login system please follow the below info

If you are using a version of Simple Invoices later than 2007 08 then all you have to do is edit config/config.ini and set authentication.enabled to true

To do this just change the file from

authentication.enabled	       = false

to

authentication.enabled	       = true

thats it - you can login using the below details

refer: http://simpleinvoices.org/config#authentication

If you are using a version of Simple Invoices later than 2007 08 then all you have to do is edit config/config.php and set $AuthenticationOn to true

//if you want to make Simple Invoices secure and require a username and password set this to true
//$authenticationOn = "true";
$authenticationOn = "false";

to

//if you want to make Simple Invoices secure and require a username and password set this to true
$authenticationOn = "true";
//$authenticationOn = "false";

refer: http://www.simpleinvoices.org/forum/topic-post1870.html#post1870 for how to change the login details

Since Simple Invoices version (20061027) there is now an optional Authentification system (ie a login system) for Simple Invoices

to enable this feature open the file ./include/include_auth.php and uncomment the code (refer below)

from

<?php
 
//To turn authentification on uncomment (remove the /* and */) the lines below
 
/*
if ($_GET['location'] == 'pdf' ) {
        include('../include/auth/auth.php');
} 
else {
        include('./include/auth/auth.php');
}
*/
 
 
?>

to this

<?php
 
//To turn authentification on uncomment (remove the /* and */) the lines below
 
 
if ($_GET['location'] == 'pdf' ) {
        include('../include/auth/auth.php');
} 
else {
        include('./include/auth/auth.php');
}
 
 
?>

NOTE: In the July/August 2007 release of Simple Invoices you now longer need to do the above step. You just edit config/config.php and set $AuthenticationOn to true

$AuthenticationOn = "true";

the next step is to create the authenfication table in the table, open phpMyAdmin and execute the following sql

CREATE TABLE si_users (
user_id int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
user_email VARCHAR(100) NOT NULL,
user_name VARCHAR(100) NOT NULL,
user_group VARCHAR(10) NOT NULL,
user_domain VARCHAR(10) NOT NULL,
user_password CHAR(32) NOT NULL,
 
PRIMARY KEY (user_id)
);
 
INSERT INTO si_users (user_id, user_email, user_name, user_group, user_domain, user_password) VALUES ('','[email protected]','guest','1','1', md5('guest'));
INSERT INTO si_users (user_id, user_email, user_name, user_group, user_domain, user_password) VALUES ('','[email protected]','demo','1','1', md5('demo'));
INSERT INTO si_users (user_id, user_email, user_name, user_group, user_domain, user_password) VALUES ('','[email protected]','admin','1','1', md5('admin'));
 
CREATE TABLE `si_auth_challenges` (
`challenges_key` INT( 11 ) NOT NULL ,
`challenges_timestamp` TIMESTAMP ON UPDATE CURRENT_TIMESTAMP NOT NULL DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP
);

now when you attempt to use Simple Invoices you'll be presented with a login screen

this is still in the testing phase, there is no nice user admin section in Simple Invoices yet, if you need to change/add/delete user information it must be done directly in the database
