[PHP] User Authentication against remote authentication server
sorry, this might be a little bit off the topic, but I really hope you could help anwering this question. It's pretty clear how to use web server to authenticate the users/groups, for example, if we are using Apache, the userID and password will be stored in the browser's cache, and be sent to the web server to do the authentiation whenenver a page is requested. However, if the authentication server is not the web server, instead, it is a remote independent server. How can we manage the user authentications at the web server side?

Re: [PHP] User Authentication against remote authentication server
may be you can write a script (perl/php/*) which try to check/log/whatever on the remote user sending a login/password, so if it returns ok yo can use it to deny/allow the access to your local webserver.. it's like a kind of authentication proxy - Original Message - From: Zhu George-CZZ010 [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, October 29, 2001 4:39 PM Subject: [PHP] User Authentication against remote authentication server sorry, this might be a little bit off the topic, but I really hope you could help anwering this question.

However, if the authentication server is not the web server, instead, it is a remote independent server. How can we manage the user authentications at the web server side?

RE: [PHP] User Authentication against remote authentication server [ LDAP ]
Thanks for the link, Kurt. Can you also point to any authentication code examples, or further discussion? The user comments in the manual suggest there are at least a couple ways to code stuff, ldap_compare vs ldap_bind. Any additional help appreciated.
