Hello, Very good point of view. Unfortunately it does not related to the topic. Topic was exactly about authentication, not authorization. I see what do you mean and I understand why do you think that Zend_Acl will solve the problem. But problem was not about to separate credentials by roles, but to separate authentication scopes.
It was about to provide option to be able to log-in into website as admin for one particular module and somebody else for all anothers. If you have experience then you probably saw that there you can log into back-end administration panel as admin (or moderator), but you can log into front-end administration by somebody else. Why you may need this? Here's simple example why this may be useful. When you have built a some kind of CMS, and you have different roles of users, and your administrator has ability to change scopes of visible areas for one role and another, you would like to test it "live". With two concerrent authentications you can achieve this easily simply log into "user's area" as user while be staying administrator inside "admin's area". With one authentication scope you'll need to log out and log in back as user to test changes. 2010/6/10 Jurian Sluiman <[email protected]>: > Hi, > I think you're using the wrong tool to solve the problem.
