PIWI Features / Authentication

User Authentication

PIWI allows you to protect your pages against unauthorized access.
You could limit access for every page to certain user roles.
The allowed roles are specified within the file 'site.xml' in the following way:

roles="?" or no attribute roles:
Every user may see this page.
roles="*":
The page may be visited only by authenticated users, regardless of which role he has.
roles="Role1, Role2":
The page may be visited only by authenticated users, if they are at least in one of the given roles.

If a protected page is visited, the user will be redirected to a login page, if he is not logged in.
If the login is successful, he will be redirected to the protected page afterwards.

Sample

The following page can only be accessed, if you login successfully.
Please use 'test' as username and password.
