Tuatara is a user authentication and access control management system built in object oriented PHP5 with a MySQL backend. This system is meant for programmers and non-programmers alike who need a powerful but easy to use drop in access control system for their web site, and don't have the time or requirements for a full fledged framework based system. Features include configurable groups, simple registration with optional email verification, forgotten password retrieval, user profiles, and a robust administration interface that lets you control every aspect of your installation. Security is another feature that is taken very seriously, including multiple levels of authentication checks to verify user sessions, dynamically hashed passwords, and error checking that'll stop XSS attacks in their tracks.
