Overview

UserBase is a login system, user account manager, and password-protector for your website.  It provides user authentication as a simple drop-in web app.  UserBase is easy to install if you're a bit tech-savvy, or we can install it for you today.  It will run on pretty much any website/server, because it requires only Perl and MySQL, which are present on virtually all servers.

Features

  • Simple installation, and easy integration into your website's existing layout (or, we can install it for you)
  • Create unlimited user accounts and unlimited groups
  • Can password-protect your entire website, or just the specific pages/folders that you choose
  • Supports optional paid accounts with simple PayPal-based configuration and multiple payment levels
  • Full control over account creation: administrators can add/delete accounts; public sign-up can be enabled; public sign-ups can be set to require admin approval and/or email verification before becoming active
  • User registration / signup page is customizable with unlimited form fields, to collect whatever user information is appropriate for your site
  • Users can change their own passwords, and reset them via email if forgotten, without the need for the webmaster's intervention
  • Login sessions can be restricted to user's current IP address for increased security
  • Can automatically lock accounts after a number of failed logins
  • Can automatically timeout an idle session after a period of inactivity
  • Can be configured to prevent or allow multiple simultaneous logins by the same username
  • Can sleep for a specified number of seconds on failed logins for protection against brute-force attacks
  • Salts passwords and never stores any plaintext passwords; only stores salted encrypted versions
  • Customizable landing page so when a user logs in, he immediately see links to the member-only and/or admin-only resources that you specify
  • Optional automatic redirection to pages you specify after login/logout
  • Supports both HTTP and HTTPS, for sites that have SSL encryption certificates
  • Works on virtually all servers (Apache, IIS, Windows, Linux, and OS X Server) and browsers (Chrome, Mozilla/Firefox, Safari, Opera, Internet Explorer)
  • Check out the FAQ and the userbase_prefs.cgi file in the trial version to see more of the available features
  • Many more features, and if you don't see what you need, just ask – we can probably add it.
