Any Authentication Patterns?
Hi,
Basically I want to develop a server/client socket application. However I want to make the server handle actions depending on the access privileges of the client.
I could just code something out and get something working, however I am sure that the result would be mediocre and easy to hack by other people.
Thus I was wondering whether there are any good patterns out there that can guide me on how to best achieve such an authentication process.
Thanks and Regards,

Do you mean an open source framework? I totally agree with that and that is why I made this post in the first place! However I really do not know what is the best way forward to learn how to use sockets in a full blown network application. So far I built small applications, however taking it to the next step is showing to be hard!
I was hoping for books that contained patters (which would involve detail on the whole life cycle of a connection between the client and server including the authentication, usage and disconnection process) however it seems very hard to find anything both on google and also amzone!
I was wondering whether it would be a good idea to actually download some open source application (like a chat application) and see how they work (the source).
Would this be the best way forward? and if so, are there any good open source applications which I can give a look at?
Thanks and Regards,
