Adding manual authentication element to login page

Hi Jason

I have created a simple registration using the simple registration preset in DataBridge/Security Assist.
The site is being designed for distributors of a product, so I don't want to have automatic registration and
login access or through automatic email verification as the double opt in does. I have set up an email to send out to an admin with the contact info and other details from the registration form. They need to discuss and approve the access to the site with that potential user, so I would want to simply change the UserEmailVerified value manually in the user table that was created to have control over the process.
Right now the User Authentication is set to User ID using the email address and password, so how would I add an element that would only allow them in after I had changed the '0' to a '1' in the UserEmailVerified column for example.
Perhaps UserEmailVerified is not the best way to go, but it is available on the table as a mechanism for this.

Thanks for any help here..
Doug

The Basic concept of the double opt in system is what you are after, with the only difference that the email does not go to the user who registers, but goers to the site admin.

or you could not send the verification link at all, and instead update that column value manually in the database.

How that column gets changed (By a link set to the user or manually by the admin) is the only difference to the double opt in system.

Hi Jason.. OK I've followed the tutorial word for word (several times) .. so I'm not sure what I've done wrong. The registration works well.. it sends the confirmation to an admin email address for verification.. I click on the verify your email link, and it updates the database to a value of "1" for the 'emailVerified' column.
I can then click on the access restricted content, on the refreshed page, and it gets me to the login one more time.. after a successful login, I can click on the link and get into the site. The problem is every time I quit my browser, and login again it brings me to the user update.php page.

I have set the rules manager to use the VerifiedUser for the rule on the main index page.. help please..

Thanks,
Doug

I'll need to troubleshoot directly, see the private message section.

Thanks Jason..

on the index page, you have access restriction that redirects to the user update page:

<?php
if (!WA_Auth_RulePasses("VerifiedUser")){
WA_Auth_RestrictAccess("userupdate.php");
}
?>

set that to redirect to the login success page instead.

Thanks for the very quick response Jason..

Excellent support,
Doug

Thanks again Jason..

the verified user rule sets the page to only allow access to logged in user that are verified.
