New Package Proposal: Enterprise A&A

I have a package still in alpha but has most of the key components working. It is aimed to be an Enterprise Authentication & Authorization service. The key features are: 1) XML-RPC based (future version moved to SOAP/WSDL) 2) Implements a single-credential set across multiple applications 3) Extendable. This library uses the concept of a provider. By default it will ship with a SQL Provider (using PEAR::DB) and can be easily adapted for LDAP or any custom needs. (I could use help with LDAP if there are any takers) 4) 100% OO, PHP client will return a serializable user object that holds all authorization data for a user. 5) Extensive logging. Troubleshooting can be a pain when the client and server are separated. This is alleviated a bit using PEAR::Log The end state of this will be allowing for single sign-on. I hope to do this by integrating all this with the liberty project. I know you already have a few A&A-based packages, admittedly I haven't looked at any of them. My hunch is this is the first one that aims to be true web service and plans to support single sign-on. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------| Tony Bibbs | "I guess you have to remember that those who don't | tony@tonybibbs.com | hunt or fish often see those of us who do as | | harmlessly strange and sort of amusing.
