Sentry is a deprecated, framework-agnostic PHP authentication and authorization library providing user groups, permissions, activation, throttling, and password resetting. It has been superseded by Cartalyst's Sentinel package.
Use cases
- add user authentication to a PHP application
- manage user groups and permissions in PHP
- implement login throttling and user suspension
- add password reset and remember-me functionality
- maintain a legacy PHP app still using Sentry
When to choose
- you are maintaining a legacy PHP 5.x codebase already built on Sentry
- you need a framework-agnostic auth library for an old PHP stack
When to avoid
- you are starting a new PHP project (use Sentinel or a framework's built-in auth)
- you need actively maintained software with security updates
- you are on modern PHP versions unsupported by Sentry
