[PHPLIB] Authentication has gone south. What happened? From: Gary Bickford (garyb <email protected>)
Date: 03/31/00

I have been using default authentication (registerform.ihtml) during
development. Something I did yesterday seems to have broken it, and I
don't know what. Now I can't login and I can't register - it just
returns to the registerform.

In auth->start(), is_authenticated always returns false, which forces
the state to 1. nobody=1, mode="reg", so the registerform is presented
again. But when this form is submitted, the state should be 3. Then
with mode="reg", the do_register function would be called.

Did I lose the uid="form" somewhere? My auth.inc appears to be
identical except for debug statements with the 7.2 original. I figure
I must have put a typo in local.inc somewhere or accidentally deleted a
line somewhere.

Any help would be appreciated. As a temporary hack, I changed auth.inc
so state = 3 in line 91:
} else {
    # user is not (yet) authenticated
    $this->unauth();
    $state = 3; // HACK
}
...
This allows one to login and proceed, but you have to log in over and
over again as you go from an unauthenticated to an authenticated page.
