SSLFakeBasicAuth ??

A customer of mine and I are fooling around with using SSLFakeBasicAuth to log users in to a paysite. Has anyone ever used this method before? Interested in implementing it and was wondering about some feedback on the pros and cons.

Only draw back is the user has to access the site from the computer the Certificate is loaded on after sign up.

But it would basically kill all brute force attacks and password sharing.

I have used it before with a plug-in site to secure access between the two sites. Worked quite well.

More info:

Any opinions on this is appreciated.

Not really hard at all, since PHP and OpenSSL are fully intergrated. Just after the customer signs up they would need to load a unique certificate that is generated for them into the browser.

Then when they visited https://www.somesite.com/login.php the certificate data would be retrieved and you could validate the session in mySQL and serve the content through normal http protocol.

The hard part would be to rewrite the API for the credit card processor to add/delete certificates from the access file when the membership is up.

Was looking for opinions on limiting users of paysites to only one computer system. That I think is not going to be worth it but wanted paysite owners opions on it.

We looked into this option a while back. We discarded it because we feared that having to install a certificate would be too confusing for most porn surfers.
