I just noticed whilst looking at my cookies for this site Jeff, to see if that is the issue, that BBulletin stores user id and password. Even though the password is MD5 encrypted (it looks like) surely this could be a potential security threat?
The cookie is only put on your PC if you tick the 'remember me' box when you log in, and the cookie is deleted when you log out.
The forum FAQ advises people not to use this if the computer is in a shared environment, but if the computer is secure there's no risk.
If you' think people can access your computer there are probably more important things to worry about than people being able to log in to TB as you!
They can't, it's not so much a problem as just a thing I noticed. Our coding practise is to use a token with the id instead of the password, that way if somehow people grab it, it isn't as much of an issue. Just different practises I guess.
The password is MD5 encrypted, then a salt (which is only stored in the database) is added, then it's MD5 encrypted again. So it's not something that can be cracked.
This is probably more secure, as it means if the password is changed the cookie will no longer allow access. Just storing the user ID would allow someone with the cookie to access the site even if the password had been changed.
how can i access tb on ie, ive not been able to do so since the site was updated
Anyone else got any issues they'd like to hijack the thread with? :icon_roll
