Hi all, My applications are designed to make use of the windows network login id via cgi.remote_user on a windows VPN. I was wondering if anybody knew how I'd go about porting this feature over to a linux platform? What authentication options are available to me?
The VPN infrastructure is still in the planning stages so I will have the option at looking into other authentication server platforms. The actual authentication merely authenticates the user to the VPN network (preferrably using their existing network login credentials) from a variety of remote branch networks (presumably Windows networks, mostly) to allow the user access to our suite of tools. The rules and policies are handled by the cf application itself, which merely requires the cgi.remote_user variable for db lookup purposes. I'm wondering if Kerberos may be the way to go as (to the best of my knowledge) it is supported by both windows and linux platforms, or perhaps I can stick with using NT authentication for the VPN and have the NT account details available to my linux boxes? Any thoughts much appreciated, Dave ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?forumid=14 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?method=subscribe&forumid=14 Your ad could be here.
