I’m coming from CI 1.7 to 2.1 and I can’t find auth library. Does it deprecated? If yes what else I can use?

Thanks

There is no built-in auth library neither for 1.7 nor for 2.x. You need to have a look here:

I had installed CI 1.7 with

| Code Igniter User Authentication Class

| By Chris Monnat

No clue if it was there by default or not.

It surely wasn’t included in the default installation of CI since CI ain’t no CMS or alike but a framework for helping developing apps. However I’m surprised that you lost this authentication module when upgrading because - I guess - you just overrode the system files and replaced names with the same filename but did not delete any files ?!

You have 4 options,

tank_auth
ion_auth
community_auth
create_your_own from scratch.

I prefer the latter.

Stick with it, practice it and have fun with it.

I will go with ‘create_your_own from scratch’ because I have already created user and permissions management. Tank_auth and ion_auth looks pretty robust but is too late. Good to know for future reference smile

Thanks
