Hi Ross,

I previously worked on this theme and the general feeling / feedback from
the mailing list was the following one :

- access to your login window, via HTTPS (SSL)
- hash you password (inspired by :
http://phpsec.org/articles/2005/password-hashing.html)
- when user is authenticated, you can authorize him to go further, therefore
use a session and store in session array ONLY his login. (as he is already
identified).
all the webpages should be accessible in HTTPS (with first check on
$_SERVER["HTTPS"] != 'on')

HTH.

I am creating a single user secure login based on this:

Can anyone see any potential security issues with this method? Where
should
I store the password/username can I just have it located in the pagehead?
