From b826537cb4aa2358027ffcb1dd6a87274734e962 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Jason A. Donenfeld" Date: Thu, 16 Jan 2014 11:39:17 +0100 Subject: authentication: use hidden form instead of referer This also gives us some CSRF protection. Note that we make use of the hmac to protect the redirect value. Signed-off-by: Jason A.
