Auth Redux is a drop-in replacement for the builtin authentication handler of Minetest. It is designed from the ground up to be robust and secure enough for use on high-traffic servers, while also addressing a number of outstanding engine bugs in Minetest 0.4.x.
- Issue #5334: Auth.txt is being excessively written on servers with high load
- Issue #6783: Large auth.txt file causes Lua ServerThread to leak memory and hang the CPU.
- Issue #1657: add lastlogin and firstlogin to auth.txt - maybe add autoexpire/noexpire
- Issue #4451: Purge usernames in auth.txt after being inactive for a long period of time.
Auth Redux is completely Lua-driven, with no external dependencies. It interfaces seamlessly with Minetest's authentication handler API, therefore no complicated setup or configuration is required. It is intended to be compatible with all versions of Minetest 0.4.14+, providing server administrators with both flexible and fine-grained access control.
The project is a WIP and will be undergoing continuous development based upon your suggestions and feedback. New features and bug-fixes will be announced in the forum topic as they become available.
