After the download, you have to make one include require_once('vendor/autoload.php');. After that you have to import the classes with use statements.

Example:
If you use only one package a project is not needed. But if you use more then one package, without a project it is not possible to import the classes with use statements.

In general, it is recommended to use always a project to download your libraries. In an application normally there is more than one library needed.
Some PHP packages are not free to download and because of that hosted in private repositories. In this case some credentials are needed to access such packages. Please use the auth.json textarea to insert credentials, if a package is coming from a private repository. You can look here for more information.

  • Some hosting areas are not accessible by a terminal or SSH. Then it is not possible to use Composer.
  • To use Composer is sometimes complicated. Especially for beginners.
  • Composer needs much resources. Sometimes they are not available on a simple webspace.
  • If you are using private repositories you don't need to share your credentials. You can set up everything on our site and then you provide a simple download link to your team member.
  • Simplify your Composer build process. Use our own command line tool to download the vendor folder as binary. This makes your build process faster and you don't need to expose your credentials for private repositories.

Build Status

Usage

Here is a basic usage example:

Setting parameters

Parameter Method Explanation
Hash algorithm setHashAlgorithm (instance method) Setting the hash algorithm for hash creation and validation. The algorithm must be in hash_algos().
Default hash algorithm setDefaultHashAlgorithm (class method) Setting the default hash algorithm.
Hash rounds setHashRounds (instance method) Setting the number of hash rounds (log 2).
Default hash rounds setDefaultHashRounds (class method) Setting the default number of hash rounds (log 2).
Time difference setTimeDifference (instance method) Setting the maximum time difference between creation of the authentication hash and its validation. If the time difference is longer than this value the authentication hash will be rejected. Keep in mind that people could have slow internet connections and wrong system clocks which can influence the hash's time.
Default time difference setDefaultTimeDifference (class method) Setting the default maximum time difference between creation of the authentication hash and its validation. See above for more information.

Please note that all default methods will only influence future instances of Authenticator. Existing ones will keep their current values.

How does it work?

To create your own authentication hash, you must do the following:

  1. Use the same secret as the server
  2. Generate a random string
  3. Get the current date and time and format as string formatted according to PHP's c-format (ISO 8601)
  4. Concatenate the random string, the date string, and the secret (in this order, without seperators)
  5. Run the hash function you set the set number of times (e.g. in default settings: run sha-256 2^10 times.
  6. The result is the authentication hash.
