RE: [PHP] PHP authenticating user over SSL

[snip] Where do I post feature requests for PHP? I need some functions in PHP to let a user log on to a server with his SSL client certificate. I mean, when a user has his own SSL client certificate, then a server should be able to log the user in without needing user name and password. Wouldn't that be a great improvement in PHP? Is it possible at all? [/snip] You're going to need client side technology to read the local certificate and pass the data to the server side PHP process. Likely you would have to have a cookie as not even JavaScript can read client side files (security). So the user would download a certificate from a site that creates a cookie.
