Right - but that´s an alternative, not a catch (just to clear up the context) ;-) Indeed, "Enterprise A&A" is another authorization/authentication package that was proposed on PEAR-DEV by Tony Bibbs a short while ago. However, it´s not yet in CVS and I have no idea if it was finally approved or how his further plans look like. He provided the following link to look at the code: http://www.tonybibbs.com/filemgmt/viewcat.php?cid=2 Basically, Tony´s package tries to achieve exactly the same goals as LiveUser does. As far as I can see, it´s simply a different implementation. So if you have the time, you can try out both packages and then decide which API you like better.
