Rad User Manager- Features and benefits.
Benefits
Creating a members area has several immediate benefits to you.
- Improves Stickiness
- It is a well known fact that membership leads to return visitors and better
conversion rates for product and service offering.
- Manage newsletters
- The Rad User Manager comes with a newsletter subscription feature, which lets
your users opt into any newsletters that you may send out periodically. User's can
choose not to be a part of mailing lists even though they can continue to be
members of your site
- Simplify the order process
- Members can have certain fields in your order forms automatically filled in with
the personal information from their profile.
Security Features
Rad User Manager has been designed with security in mind. We have done our best
to close any gaps that intruders may use. We are confident enough to use it on our own site.
- Session data
- We do not store sensitive data such as user id, username or password in session
data. Instead we use a separate table in our backend database to keep track of logged
in users. This makes session high-jack by altering cookies nearly impossible.
- SSL
- The Rad User manager can be deployed on a Secure Web Sever that uses SSL to
ensure the maximum security of the usernames and passwords
- Password Storage
- Passwords are stored in a database one way hashed with a call to the md5() function. When used with the mysql database, passwords can be optionaly encrypted with the built in password() function.
- Time outs
- Inactive sessions (users who login but forget to logout) are automatically timed our
after a period of one hour.
Other Features
- Data validation
- To overcome the common problem of users creating accounts with bogus information,
you have the option to send a confirmation email with a special validation link. The
account is disabled until the user clicks on this validation link.
- Password Reminder
- Since passwords are NOT stored in a readable format, even the administrator cannot
read them. Thus when a user forgets his password he can request that the password be
reset and ask it to be emailed to the email address associated with her account.
- Customizable
- The license allows you to freely make modifications to
the product and even integrate it into your own applications.
Even if you are not a PHP expert we have made it possible for you to customize the
look and feel by editing template files. You can also easily change the text of validation emails etc.
