All, I'm writing a web based app and I want to have a user login page. I can create the page just fine and do the all the form "stuff" just fine. However, what I'm looking at trying to do is to authenticate the user id & password against either our NT server accounts or Sun NIS server accounts depending on the OS the user is browsing from instead of to the web server's htpasswd file. I'm only needing to test for a valid user id and password against the password servers, and am not interested in inheriting or accessing any permissions, authorizations, etc. from the NT or NIS servers. I will assign permissions etc. to the user id on the web server. Are there modules that will let me do the authenticating of a user id & password against NT & NIS servers? If so, what are they? I took a look at the CPAN site but couldn't find anything that stood out as being the correct modules.
Hopefully the question makes some sort of sense. BTW, running Apache, mod_perl, & perl 5.6.1 on Solaris 2.8 if that makes any difference to the responses. Thanks in advance Dave
