What is the best method to allow members access to multiple servers? IE I will have a main server then have content on other servers. I think http refer based is not so good. Any help appreciated .

Choker · 07-08-2004, 08:53 PM

Somebody ?

referrer is way too easy to spoof.

we had a pin system wrote for us that does the trick nicely

How does it work? I am thinking to have the main server write a code to the content servers htacess files every few minutes. Then the linking urls to the content will have that code in the linking url. SO if it does not match they do not get access. Think this will work?

What is the reason for the content on the different servers? If it's just because of storage, I can offer a suggestion or two. If it's to keep server load down (spreading the server load between several different servers), there are setups you can do to make what you are doing more efficient and you don't have to worry about the password protection between servers.

If you don't want to give the reason for having content spread among different servers, email me with the reason to
gfy AT paywide.com
and I'll see if I can offer some suggestions.

Choker we use Strong Box and this allows multiple members areas to be accessed from each other. Shoot Ray an email if you requirement is different to what I have mentioned. support @ webmastersguide.com

Yeah, Strongbox will work well for that and you get
truly state of the art security to boot. I too wonder
why you're putting content on multiple servers.
The Strongbox functionallity to do that was written
primarily so that one site could link to the members
area of a seperate but related site. It has since been
for all kinds of different purposes though.

stevo · 07-08-2004, 10:08 PM

If your lazy like me... make both servers share the same .htaccess file... they'll have to type user/pass again - but it works...

{fusion} · 07-08-2004, 10:13 PM

strongbox sounds great

FiReC · 07-08-2004, 10:41 PM

propogating the htaccess across all of the servers would work.

remember you can no longer put usernames and passwords into urls with IE since a few patches ago, so they will have to reenter their usernames. not sure how strong box works, it would be cool if they didn't have to enter their info again.

we do a mod5 authorization token on the content server

Kevin2 · 07-08-2004, 11:50 PM

With Strong Box they only enter the user/pass once and can then move from site to site.

this looks perfect thanks man. The reason I need multiple servers is to keep the load spread out.

that's the way that I do it as well ..

my content is on four machines and md5 tokens work great with the hash of ip , time and sessionid ..

We do it with Cisco load balancer and same content on all the boxes. The load balancer spreads the load around and the member only has to login once

We are on a load balance set up and it works just great. An absolute *TON* of content and no problems at all.

It would be better if you setup your system to do load balancing as some of the others have mentioned. Not only will that solve your password protection problem across servers, but it would transfer the load a lot more evenly across your servers. Also if one server goes down, the others would take up the slack.
