[GiDlist] How to protect problem type with password?

Post by 刘力风 »

Hi, All
With Gid, is there anyone know how to secure the self-developed problem type by password or license? I know Gid provide an XML configuration with node ValidatePassword/ValidatePassword, which is said to be used to validating password for a problem type. But I am wondering the XML is also clear text, people can modify it or even remove the node, right? I am not sure I am understanding it correctly.

Any help or information will be appreciated.

Hello,

GiD contains, by default and academic version of CompassLIB. It is
useful for Phd students and in-house development.

In order to create professional products based on GiD, it is possible to
use "CompassLIB" professional version.

Details can be found here:

[GiDlist] How to protect problem type with password?

Post by escolano »

Hello,

The 'ValidatePassword' item of the xml file is only a way to provide the user a feedback when enter a password for a problemtype in the window 'Help-Register problemtype...'
GiD can's validate if the password is valid for the problemtype, an this ValidatePassword is only like a 'GiD-Tcl event' that allow the problemtype developer to run its own check procedure,
and raise a message is the password is wrong.
(then it is not a problem that the content of the xml is plain text, if a 'bad' user delete of change it, it only will lost the appropiated information about if the entered password is valid or not.
If 'ValidatePassword' is no implemented, then GiD assume tha the password is valid)

Usually problemtypes protect with some kind of password the main .exe file that do the calculation, and it is verified at runtime witout any GiD intervention.

Regards

Enrique Escolano
