Re: We need another Auth

I didn´t have an in-depth look at PEAR::Auth, but from what I´ve seen, it resembles the functionality you could achieve with standard .htaccess basic authentication while being able to use a database for storing usernames and passwords. It does not, for example, have the ability to associate certain rights (like "user may read", "user may write", "user may make coffee" etc.) with certain users in one or more applications. Martin, please correct me if I´m wrong here.

PEAR::Auth := "Authentication" "Authentication" != "Authorization" IMHO your rights management should not be part of a pure authentication class like PEAR::Auth. Michael
