I personally would rather see the coding time going to more widely usable feature enhancements and speed improvements (like those that we're seeing with 1.5). Why spend time and resources trying to implement everyone's favorite authentication mechanism when it isn't really needed except for specialty circumstances like Single Sign On (which is just a bad bad idea IMHO). On the flip side, you have access to the source so you can implement it if you like. We tested SSO capability of SM by modifying redirect.php to accept and process an encrypted username/password pair that could be passed as part of a url. It only took about half a day with the hardest part being finding compatible Perl and PHP encryption routines and we don't even program for a living. It was just a proof of concept, but it worked. -- Marc ------------------------------------------------------- SF email is sponsored by - The IT Product Guide Read honest & candid reviews on hundreds of IT Products from real users.
