Re: PHP LDAP - Single Sign On

well, I'm sure that if you really wanted to try to write your own auth module in PHP you could theoretically do so - but in lieu of that there is an open source apache module that you might want to look into called mod_ntlm http://modntlm.sourceforge.net/ keep in mind that all this does is ask the browser for the current users creds after a handshake. IE is the only one that I know of that will gleefully hand out that info without asking the user - all the other browsers that I've tested ask you if that's ok with you first (as it should be) On Jun 28, 2006, at 8:07 AM, Jay Blanchard wrote:

[snip] thanks for the response, i can see how this works (i think) for basic authentication with user input,but what i really need is to actually retrieve the logged on user name after a user has logged into windows. i.e. the user name that the http client passes to the apache mod has been captured not from user input, but from say a piece of code that picks up the user name when the user logs in. Probably less to do with php now that i come to think of it, but thanks anyway. [/snip] Ah...I see now. Several have asked this question, let me rephrase and see if this makes better sense.... How can one capture the login user name from a Windows logon? ASP can do it, but can it be done with PHP as one would do with PHP_AUTH_USER? IIRC I don't think that it is possible with PHP. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
