RE: [PHP-DB] authenticating methods...

I have php on win2k with sql server and IIS, I use Active Directory for all my authentications, and integrated authentication for database access. I think it works great! My users don't even have to enter a username and password, it is all based on what they logged into their system as. I did have to create a custom layer for access levels for some applications. It's as simple as I can see doing it. Atleast the final result is, coding for it was a bit complex. :-) <>< Ryan -----Original Message----- From: leo g. divinagracia iii [mailto:ldivinag@csuhayward.edu] Sent: Monday, August 19, 2002 4:38 PM Cc: php-db@lists.php.net Subject: [PHP-DB] authenticating methods... i was curious as to which methods you are authenticating your users? for example, i'm using apache, mysql and php in a win2k box. i want to maintain my own table of users and authenticate from that. do you have a single user with just enough rights do a SELECT? and then have another account for the other tasks? or a single user that does everything including the INSERTS? and where are you storing the username and password? in the code itself or call it via the INCLUDE statement? thanks... -- Leo G.
