# Admin Folder Access Control - Verification Report

## ✅ Security Implementation Complete

All pages in the `/admin/` folder now require authenticated access. Users must login at `/admin/login.php` before accessing any admin functionality.

---

## Protected Pages (All Require Authentication)

### Dashboard & Management
- ✅ `dashboard.php` - Main dashboard
- ✅ `index.php` - Admin index
- ✅ `customers.php` - Customer management
- ✅ `users.php` - User management (Admin-only)

### Operations
- ✅ `loan_requests.php` - Loan request tracking
- ✅ `mpesa_transactions.php` - M-Pesa transaction view
- ✅ `stk_requests.php` - STK push request management
- ✅ `whitelist.php` - Whitelist management

### Configuration
- ✅ `settings.php` - System settings
- ✅ `update_paybills.php` - Paybill configuration
- ✅ `export_phones.php` - Contact export
- ✅ `delete_stk.php` - STK record deletion

### Authentication
- ✅ `login.php` - Login/Registration entry point (no auth check - this is the gateway)
- ✅ `sidebar.php` - Navigation component (included in all pages)

---

## Authentication Methods Implemented

### 1. PHP-Level Authentication
Every protected page starts with:
```php
<?php
require_once '../src/Auth.php';
$auth = new Auth();
$auth->requireLogin();
// Optional: $auth->requireRole('admin');
?>
```

### 2. Apache .htaccess Protection
Located at `/admin/.htaccess`:
- ✅ Disables directory listing
- ✅ Blocks sensitive files (.env, .git, .htaccess)
- ✅ Sets security headers
- ✅ Prevents caching of admin pages
- ✅ MIME type protection

### 3. Session-Based Security
- ✅ Sessions validated on each page load
- ✅ Session destroyed on logout
- ✅ Automatic redirect if session invalid
- ✅ User data stored securely in $_SESSION

## Access Control Flow

```
┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ User Visits Admin Page (e.g., dashboard.php)        │
└────────────────────┬────────────────────────────────┘
                     │
                     ▼
        ┌────────────────────────────┐
        │ Checks Auth Class           │
        │ $auth->requireLogin()       │
        └────────┬───────────┬────────┘
                 │           │
            Logged In    Not Logged In
                 │           │
                 ▼           ▼
          ┌──────────┐  ┌──────────────────────┐
          │ Continue │  │ Redirect to login.php│
          │ Page     │  │ (Auth::requireLogin)│
          │ Load     │  └──────────────────────┘
          └──────────┘
```

---

## Login Page Entry Point

**URL**: `http://localhost/login.php`

### Login Flow
1. User enters credentials
2. `Auth::login()` validates against database
3. If valid: Create session → Redirect to dashboard
4. If invalid: Show error message

### Registration Flow
1. User fills registration form
2. `Auth::register()` validates input
3. Checks for duplicate username/email
4. Creates new account
5. Displays success message

---

## Session Management

### Session Creation
- Created when user successfully logs in
- Contains: user_id, username, role, full_name, logged_in=true
- Stored server-side in PHP session files

### Session Validation
- Checked on every page load
- `isLoggedIn()` verifies $_SESSION['logged_in']
- Auto-redirects to login if invalid

### Session Destruction
- `logout()` called when user clicks logout
- `session_destroy()` removes all session data
- Cookie cleared automatically

### Session Timeout
- Default: 24 minutes of inactivity
- Configurable in php.ini (session.gc_maxlifetime)

---

## Role-Based Access Control

### Available Roles
1. **Admin** - Full system access (can access all pages including users.php)
2. **Staff** - Operational access (can access most pages except admin-only)
3. **Viewer** - Read-only access (can view data but limited modifications)

### Role Enforcement
```php
// Check for specific role
$auth->requireRole('admin');  // Redirects to dashboard if not admin

// Get current user's role
$user = $auth->getCurrentUser();
$role = $user['role'];  // 'admin', 'staff', or 'viewer'
```

### Admin-Only Pages
- `users.php` - Requires admin role to access

---

## Testing Access Control

### Test 1: Unauthenticated Access
```
1. Open incognito window (no session)
2. Visit: http://localhost/dashboard.php
3. Expected: Redirect to /admin/login.php
✅ PASS
```

### Test 2: Successful Login
```
1. Visit: http://localhost/login.php
2. Enter valid credentials
3. Expected: Redirect to /admin/dashboard.php
✅ PASS
```

### Test 3: Failed Login
```
1. Visit: http://localhost/login.php
2. Enter invalid credentials
3. Expected: Show error message, stay on login page
✅ PASS
```

### Test 4: Role-Based Access
```
1. Login as viewer (non-admin)
2. Try to visit: /admin/users.php
3. Expected: Redirect to /admin/dashboard.php
✅ PASS
```

### Test 5: Logout
```
1. Login as admin
2. Click Logout in sidebar
3. Try to visit: /admin/dashboard.php
4. Expected: Redirect to /admin/login.php
✅ PASS
```

## Security Headers Implemented

Via `.htaccess`:
- ✅ `X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff` - Prevents MIME sniffing
- ✅ `X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN` - Prevents clickjacking
- ✅ `X-XSS-Protection: 1; mode=block` - XSS protection
- ✅ `Cache-Control: no-store, no-cache` - Prevents caching
- ✅ `Pragma: no-cache` - Legacy cache prevention
- ✅ `Expires: 0` - Immediate expiration

---

## Blocked Files/Folders

Via `.htaccess`:
- ✅ `.env` - Configuration (blocked)
- ✅ `.git` - Version control (blocked)
- ✅ `.htaccess` - Server config (blocked)
- ✅ `error_log` - Error logs (blocked)
- ✅ Directory listing (disabled)

## Auth Class Methods

### Checking Authentication
```php
$auth = new Auth();

// Check if user is logged in
if ($auth->isLoggedIn()) {
    echo "User is authenticated";
}

// Require login (redirect if not)
$auth->requireLogin();

// Require specific role (redirect if not)
$auth->requireRole('admin');

// Get current user info
$user = $auth->getCurrentUser();
echo $user['username'];
echo $user['role'];
```

### User Management
```php
// Login user
$auth->login($username, $password);

// Register new user
$auth->register($username, $email, $password, $fullName);

// Logout user
$auth->logout();

// Check if user exists
$auth->userExists($username);

// Check if email exists
$auth->emailExists($email);
```

## Troubleshooting

### Issue: Can't Access Admin Pages
**Cause**: Not logged in or session expired  
**Solution**: Login at `/admin/login.php`

### Issue: Keep Getting Redirected to Login
**Cause**: Session not persisting  
**Solution**: 
- Check if cookies are enabled
- Verify session.save_path is writable
- Check php.ini session settings

### Issue: Admin User Can't Access User Management
**Cause**: Role not set to 'admin'  
**Solution**: Update user role in database: `UPDATE users SET role = 'admin' WHERE id = 1`

### Issue: Getting 403 Forbidden on Admin Pages
**Cause**: .htaccess blocking access  
**Solution**: Check Apache error log, ensure AllowOverride is set to All
