• Authentication

    From Netsurge@77:1/100 to g00r00 on Tue Mar 24 22:44:38 2020
    Hey g00r00,

    I think we may have talked about this before, but I don't remember TBH.

    I'd like the ability to use Mystic's userbase to authenticate outside applications against.

    For example. I am rolling out a SciNet Usenet server for the BBS community.
    I'm running INN and it can use a bash/perl/python script to authenticate
    users against. So I'd like to be able to run a script, something like
    "./mystic -auth username password" and have mystic return a true of false
    based on the username and password that was submitted.

    Clear as mud?

    Done. This will be in the next prealpha build.

    Now that sounds like a really useful feature!

    Great idea!

    Seeing as I am coming up with all these great ideas, let's see if g00r00 can implement this one:

    Hey g00r00, can you add a commandline switch to add money to my bank account. Something like "./mystic -cash 'transit and account number' 'amount'

    Luckily Mystic has been secretly farming bitcoin in the background for me over the past 25 years so I am a gazillionaire now. I'll put this on the TODO
    list right after I finish up the -beer option.

    Won't he be in for a surprise when he fails to transfer any money. Hard to do so when you are in the negatives.

    If you can get the -beer option to work and it brings me beer, you can have
    all the spare cycles on the Diskshop to mine bc.

    Works like a dream. I can now roll out the SciNet Usernet server to the bbs community without having to write a whole new user registration system. I can now use Mystic's userbase to authenticate against use the INN nntp server.

    I didn't realize that you changed the record structure of the RecGroup so I
    had to fix my message/file group lightbar script but apart from that so far
    so good.

    Yeah as a heavy user of your message base, it was a shock that it all
    suddenly changed! Still works great just a little different.
