iPeer Security

Overview

The stats for the logged in user are kept inside the rdAuth object. This object is stored into the session on login with rdAuth->setFromData(), and loaded on by the parent class AppController with $this->rdAuth->loadFromSession() in checkAccess().

app_controller->checkAccess()

The method will check the requested controller name against the database (specifically, the contents of sysContainer->getActionList())), and if any entry with this controller is found, it keep processing the page. Otherwise, it redirects the client to loginlout/login. Specifically which method will the client requests to be invoked, is, apparently, no concidered.

Users_controller

Each potentialy sensitive method in users_controller checks the user role agains 'S' (or Student). If a Student should not be able to access this function, they are re-directed away from the page. If any other user type is logged on, the requested action will proceed. <pre>

if ($this->rdAuth->role == 'S') {

$this->redirect('home/index'); exit();

}

</pre
