>What are you trying to do with radius and php?
I really don't know yet. We are looking at implementing RADIUS as a authentication scheme. I only roughly understand RADIUS, which doesn't help much. I looked at the RADUIS Apache module, which is where I am gaining most of my knowledge. It appears to function much like any other authentication scheme (at least to some extent) like LDAP or using a database (or NT Domain...or...or). As Apache can authentication against RADIUS, I assumed that such a thing could also be achieved via PHP. Currently we have an Intranet Portal which authenticates against LDAP. We would want to change this over to RADIUS if we implemented RADIUS. How this is done, If it can be done, and what does it take are all questions which are up in the air at this point. From my understanding, RADIUS is more or less a ticketing mechanism. It is configured on the back end to check various sources (files, SQL, LDAP), and then provides a ticket if authentication is passed. It is this ticked which is passed around by the client and used to authenticate to the same resource, as well as other resources (if you have a valid ticket, you are not asked for username/password info?). How close am I in understanding this, as well as making this all work in PHP? thanks.. benji --- Ben Spencer Web Support [EMAIL PROTECTED] x 2288 -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
