[PHP] User Authentication across multiple server
Hey, I've got 2 server, both having the same authentication scripts and using the same database. My problems are: 1.: User logs in on server1 - trys to use a part of the site which is physically located on server2 - has to login again on server2 2.: There is a wiki on server2, which also depends on the same user-database-table. Is there a way to login the user automatically to that wiki? The only method which possibly could work and came to my mind was using somehow $_GET parameter for username and password (encrypted). Thoughts? -eddy

Set a cookie and crypt that (RC4 works well) and then check for the cookie on both sites.

Thoughts? -eddy Do you use the database for your session management? If you do, since both servers talk to the same database, it should be easy. ini_set(session.cookie_domain,.yourdomain.org); Any server on your domain will be able to read the session cookie, and if your sessions are database driven, authenticate the session ID. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
