Not being a web developer, I'm a DBA by profession, I am attempting to write a web application that will perform a simple (in my mind) database process.
What I want to know how, if possible, can I pop-up a window or open the initial web-page and gather a user_name and password but use the AIX authentication to ensure the given user has an ID and gave the correct password. This AIX system is a clustered environment so if user_x has on ID its ID and password exists on every server in the cluster. I didn't want to have to write my own user validation process or maintain a separate file/database for user information. This would be much like using telnet or ftp to gain access to the system. If user_x has a valid user_id and password to the environment then I want to allow access to the web application. I am new to all this and am not quite sure if this is possible or where I can find information or examples to accomplish this. I'm using Apache 1.3.?? on AIX 5.1 with PERL 5.8.?? right now as my development area and plan to upgrade to Apache 2.0 later when the server hardware is upgraded. Any help appreciated. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <http://learn.perl.org/> <http://learn.perl.org/first-response>
