CodeIgniter WebSockets Authorization
====================================

[](#codeigniter-websockets-authorization)

### Description

[](#description)

Authentication System for your WebSocket Servers written to support both [Ratchet PHP](https://github.com/ratchetphp/Ratchet) and CodeIgniter framework.

It's based on [Ion Auth 3](https://github.com/benedmunds/CodeIgniter-Ion-Auth). **Ws Auth** changed the underlying code, without affecting the interface, to able the simple and easy to use Auth Lib for Ratchet PHP.

Since, the command interface of **Ws Auth** is the same as API of **IoN Auth 3**, the documentation of IoN could be also used for Ws Auth library.

*NOTE! Ws Auth doesn't support native Sessions*

Server requirements
-------------------

[](#server-requirements)

**CodeIgniter 3** – a popular Framework

**Php 5.6**

**RatchetPHP** – a popular WebSocket library written on PHP

*Ws Auth* also could be used without RatchetPHP, but include symfony sessions as WebSocket dependency at composer.json.

Documentation
-------------

[](#documentation)

Documentation is located at [http://benedmunds.com/ion\_auth/](http://benedmunds.com/ion_auth/)

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

See [INSTALLING.md](INSTALLING.md) file.

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

In the package you will find example usage code in the controllers and views folders. The example code isn't the most beautiful code you'll ever see but it'll show you how to use the library and it's nice and generic so it doesn't require a MY\_controller or anything else.

### Default Login

[](#default-login)

Username: Password: password

### Important

[](#important)

It is highly recommended that you use encrypted database sessions for security!
