Re: Enterprise A&A, move to CC list

If this is turned into a CC-discussion, could you copy me in? I'm planning on implementing a user system really soon, and from what I see, A&A would be easier for me to implement and would offer me the right features. One downside to LiveUser is that though there are premade containers, they don't meet all of everyone's needs, and I don't feel like sitting down and writing a new container for every project. I'd probably end up writing the whole authentification system from scratch so that I would have complete control. However, A&A offers single-sign-on for multiple applications that don't necessarily need to share a DB or even have a DB server accessible via web. If I understand correctly, the idea is that you set up a central authentification server somewhere on the net and applications can be scattered everywhere, like MS Passport... which would exactly suit my need. With LiveUser, that would basically require a completely new auth Container, and since I'll have to write my own perm container anyway, I would end up writing nearly everything... :-/ I'm eagerly looking forward to see how this discussion continues :-) Klaus ----- Original Message ----- From: "Pierre-Alain Joye" <paj@pearfr.org> To: "peardev" <pear-dev@lists.php.net> Sent: Wednesday, January 15, 2003 8:20 PM Subject: [PEAR-DEV] Enterprise A&A, move to CC list > Hello, > > I'm following this discussion with a great interest, but I actually do > not have enough time to look at AA sources, principles or provide a > analyse of pros or cons. > > So I am still without opinion about a possible merge or not, I just > consider we are at a very good point in LiveUser and it does not miss a > lot of things to make it fit our needs for a 1st shot. > > Well, do not run too fast in a merge from a side or another, but as it > is still a discussion ;-). > > Anyway, we can continue this usefull discussion outside peardev to do > not pollute it.
