You really do want to use LDAP, whether it is OpenLDAP, Fedora DS, or even MS Active Directory. Note that technically LDAP is not an authentication mechanism, rather it's a authorization mechanism. It can supply user information. It can do authentication also, but you should probably also look into Kerberos for authentication. Or on web stuff, CAS. That said, for starters, LDAP alone probably has what you need. /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
