Hi, Roberto's email a few minutes made me consider another feature I'd find very useful at least for my environment.
Consider an environment with a centralized user authentication and authorization system. This might be an LDAP directory or something completely different. As this may be different for every location, I'd like to use an external program (shell script...) to perform the necessary operations. What I would like to do is: On the RA: - have a login prompt and request username/password - call an external program and pass the values entered by the user. In the external call I include a fixed role against the user is to verified against. - if the program returns success, the login is successful On the public frontend I'd like to implement this - have a login prompt and request username/password - call an external program and pass the values entered by the user. Any user is accepted here, regardless of his role in the system. - if the program returns success, the login is successful - in addition to this, the entered username is used to determine user details, such as department and full name - this additional information should be *included* in any CSR or CSR the user enters. The user should ideally have no way of altering this information. What do you think? cheers Martin ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by OSTG.
