User Authentication - How? |

Richard ENT Technologies | How would you go about authenticating a user against a MySQL database? A short code example would be nice.
Also, how would you log off a user after a period of inactivity? |

Raul Team Elevate | Auth would have to be done by the backend (server) code - for example PHP or whatever you choose to use.
Easiest way would be to authenticate user (EWB app calling a login function on back-end) and then back-end validates username/password and issues a session ID (guid for example ) and also set a sessions expiry timestamp (X minutes in the future). The EWB would have to include the session ID with every request so back-end just checks the sessions and expiry transparently and you can also update the session timestamp on back-end every time you get a request. EWB app also has to deal with the session expired response properly f you wish to retain EWB app state. If you also wish to clear the EWB screens on inactivity then timer in EWB app should do the same thing - reset countdown whenever there is activity and prompt login (clear screens) once countdown reaches 0.
