Re: [Mailman-Users] single sign-on
Wow. Storing user info in a SQL database is exactly a feature I need. I was about to write a script to synchronize member data with a SQL database--if I could store the member data there in the first place, I won't need to write the script! Where can I learn the details?

Then with some judicious use of SQL commands you can set the users to all use the same passwords. Perhaps my question wasn't clear. I host lists for several clubs and charities. These lists tend to come in pairs, i.e. xyz-announce and xyz-general. I also host a bunch of lists for my church and members might be on as many as 10 lists. So I have two problems. [1] I want a member to only have to remember one password. I might be able to do this with SQL commands as mentioned above. [2] I only want the users to have to enter their password once. For example, if a user enters a password to access the xyz-announce archives, he should not have to enter it again to access the xyz-general archives or any other Mailman list hosted on my site. What I would prefer to have is one site-wide database for passwords and separate databases for each list for user preferences. -- Phil Harbison -- Mailman-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ This message was sent to: archive@jab.org Unsubscribe or change your options at http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org
[Mailman-Users] single sign-on
Is there a way to link a user's subscriptions to multiple lists so that they have a common password and only have to give the password once? I have a group of about 10 lists that I manage for my church. Most people are on several lists. It would be nice if they could have one password and only sign on once. -- Phil Harbison -- Mailman-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ This message was sent to: archive@jab.org Unsubscribe or change your options at http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org

Then with some judicious use of SQL commands you can set the users to all use the same passwords. You can actually do the same thing using the 2.0.x version of Mailman but that would require you to write in Python. Maybe I should write a password management utility for use with Mailman?
