Utility Methods

The CBSecurity model also has some methods that assist developers in their security needs

Generating Passwords

You can use the createPassword( length:32, letters:true, numbers:true, symbols:true ) 

// Generate a random password 32 characters in length
cbsecure().createPassword()

// Generate with no symbols and 16 characters
cbsecure().createPassword( length: 16, symbols: false )

// Generate with no numbers and 12 characters
cbsecure().createPassword( length: 12, numbers: false )

  • getRealHost( trustUpstream : true ) : Get a request's actual hostname used
