FOR ARCHIVAL PURPOSES ONLY
The following instructions apply to using Websec
to authenticate for web applications. Websec was retired
in December 2009 and replaced
by a new authentication system, Penn Weblogin.

Example PHP code to interact with the web-security module
We provide example PHP code that can
interact with the web-security module.
To use these routines, you can:
- copy the routines into a PHP file, like websec.php
- edit your copy of the PHP file and define:
- $websec_app - the name of your registered websec application
- $websec_client - the full filepath to the websec_client
binary as installed on your system.
Note: If you are running PHP in a restricted mode, you need to
install the websec_client in the PHP safe_mode_exec_dir
- include your PHP file and call websec_require($websec_token) at the top of every page you want to authenticate.
Note:
- If $websec_token is not defined or null the function automatically
redirects the user to the websec authentication page. The function also checks
for timeouts
- Alternatively use session variables to avoid passing around
$websec_token as a GET or POST variable.
