What is Password Sentry (PS)? PS is a CGI-Perl application that you install on your web server. The primary
function of PS is to monitor logins to a password-protected directory (for example, the members area on a paysite
where members purchase access), and to prevent authorized users from sharing their password with unauthorized
users. In other words, to detect and block password sharing - such that only paying members have legitimate
access. When the number of unique IPs logged for a given user exceeds [IP Threshold] (as defined via PS Admin),
that user's access is suspended (and remains suspended until manually restored via the PS Admin), and you are
emailed (you also have the option to only be alerted without actual suspensions).
PS is not an user management application, per se. PS does not allow users to signup, PS does not expire users, and
PS does not hookup to billing payment processors. You would require a separate application if you want to provide
those capabilities - for example, billing user management script. However, the webmaster does have the option to
manually add or delete users via the web-based PS Admin interface.
