View Full Version : Login form on my home page?

Hi, How can I add a login form to my home page?

Not a link to the login popup box, but the ability to type the user name and password directly on to the web page?

Here is the latest working code so you don't have to hunt for it.


<html>

<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1252">
<title>Direct Admin Login</title>
</head>

<body>
<form method="POST" action="http://yourdoman.com:2222/CMD_LOGIN">
<input type="text" name="username"/>
<input type="password" name="password" size="20"/>
<input type="submit" value="go" name="submit"/>

</form>
</body>
</html>



Thanks for your time and help -Jason

BTW I highly recomend Direct Admin.
I like many others have spent months deciding on which CP to use. DA Rocks! :D

This is just a sample way to do it with JavaScript..

You'll need to modify the HTML to make it look how you want..


<html>
<head>
<title>Untitled Document</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
<script language="javascript">
<!-- Begin
function Login(form) {
var username = form.username.value;
var password = form.password.value;
var server = form.server.value;
if (username && password && server) {
var dalogin = "http://" + username + ":" + password + "@" + server + ":2222/";
window.location = dalogin;
}
else {
alert("Please enter a Username and password.");
}
}
// End -->
</script>
</head>

<body bgcolor="#FFFFFF">
<form name=login>
<div align="center">
<table border=1 cellpadding=3>
<tr>
<td colspan=2 align=center>
<h2 align="center">DirectAdmin Login</h2>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Username:</td>
<td>
<input type=text name=username size=15 maxlength="26">
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Password:</td>
<td>
<input type=password name=password size=15>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Domain:</td>
<td>
<input type="text" name="server" maxlength="65" size="15">
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan=2 align=center>
<input type=button value="Login!" onClick="Login(this.form)" name="button">
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</div>
</form>
</body>

Thanks so much Prohacker. You Rock and the script works perfect!


Some mistakes I made and things I learned when using this script which I hope will help others.

1. On this line I tried typing in my domain name or IP address in the "http://" area; don't do this, just leave the entire line the way it is. Like Prohacker said is all you have to do is change the html to suite your look and feel.
var dalogin = "http://" + username + ":" + password + "@" + server + ":2222/";

2. If you would like to create a form which alows a demo user to login just by clicking the login button then modify these lines.

input type="text" name="username" size="15" maxlength="26" value="demo_user"

input type="password" name="password" size="15" value="demo"

input type="text" name="server" maxlength="65" size="15" value="Insert Your IP Address Here"

Thanks again for your help Prohacker -Jdlitson :D

If you are using this for a demo user to login.. You might change the server field from text to hidden as a guest doesn't need to see your server name :D

If it is for a demo user why even bother with a form? Why not make the URL and set it as a link i.e. if user was demo and password demo it would be:
< a href = "http://demo:demo@123.45.67.8:2222/" > Login To Demo Control Panel </ a >

Of course remove spaces to get it working and replace with your IP ;)

You might just want to present it to the user as if they were a regular customer and use the login form... :D

I dunno.. People do strange things :D

Hi, Does anyone know the code to use an alternate image other than the default login image that is displayed with this script?

I tried using html 3 and html 4 using an online tutorial but was only able to get the alternate image to apear but not submit the form properly.

Thanks for your help -Jason

to use an image instaed of the grey box chnage the line:

<input type=button value="Login!" onClick="Login(this.form)" name="button">


to

<input name="submit" type="image" value="Login!" src="http://url.to/image.ext" onClick="Login(this.form)" alt="alt_text">


you will need to chnage "http://url.to/image.ext to the address of your image, can be local if wanted. Also, chnage your alt_text, unless you want people to get that message hovering over the submit button ;)

The image does show up but the form still doesn't login.

Thanks for trying though -Jason

The form removes the login text and stays on the same page but does not report any errors.
Does it work for you?

Hi Chris and gmilazzo,
I tried both of your scripts.

Chris, With the newer version for some reasone the image doesn't show up. When I click the image place holder the form resets :(

gmilazzo, With your button update the button shows up but the form rests and doesn't submit properly.

Thank you both for all your help.
I will just resize my page in photoshop to fit the default button for now. It' quite puzzling why these don't work. I tried the code in frontpage and also in a text editor to be sure, so???

Hi Chris,
I wasn't able to get it to work. Perhaps it does and I did something wrong. I don't have any experience with CSS. I added my image location in this part of your code. value="http://link.to/image.ext I did this in a text editor and saved the document as .html and then previewed in my browser.
Were you able to verify it on your end? Thanks- Jason

I'm currently looking into implementing a sessions based system which would make this type of thing a *whole* lot easier. Http auth just doesn't provide the flexibility we'd like.. (some browsers refuse to forget the passwords, so they can't log out). I'll make sure http auth still works, with the goal to have a sessions based system that can be used on top of it.

I'll keep you posted.

I think DirectAdmin needs a "real" login system, .htaccess / .htpasswd to me doesnt show the security is the best on there, also the htaccess cant be customised and makes thing much more difficult when creating custom login forms from your homepage.

Ensim style login is the way I think :cool:

I took it out in mine but it would become very useful once you had multiple DA boxes.

Hold the presses!!!

Ok, that went faster than I thought it would....

I've completed the sessions based login system. When you first login, it will notice you don't a sessions cookie, so it will send you to a login form which is an actual webpage (hard coded right now)... no more http auth is required. Your session will be stored for one hour after your last access, at which time you will be prompted with the login screen again. To logout within that hour, you click the logout button, or close all browsers.

As for http auth, it will still work for the api people. Rules for which one is used is as follows:

If the sessions cookie is sent, a session is required.
If the http authentication is sent, http auth is used
If neither is sent, the sessions login page will be displayed.

I'd figure I'd mention this before you guys get too carried away with your fancy login scripts :)

If you want to have a login form on your webpage, you just pass it to:
action=http://domain.com:2222/CMD_LOGIN
method=POST
username=username
password=password

voila!

Will be out for 1.12

Hi guys,

1.12 should be out in a few days. I need to make sure that it works for everyone before I release it... if it doesn't, nobody will be able to log in at all... which would be a *bad* thing :D

Just a note that although http auth will still function, most browsers will not be able to use it via http://user:Pass@domain.com because browsers check to see if it requires auth before actually using it... sessions don't require http auth because they are purely server side, so if you MUST use http auth, it can only be done by explicitly passing the encrypted user:Pass in the headers. Only people using the API really need to take note of this fact.

I havn't sent out the update to everyone yet so you guys can play around with our demo accounts on here just so you can get an idea of what it does.

http://www.directadmin.com:2222
login: demo_admin or demo_reseller or demo_user
pass: demo

edit: Ok, It needs a few things before I'm going to release it. The admin|user login system needs tweaking :)

should have put that inside [CODE] tags:\ it makes copy/paste in editors easier
