I need to do some user authentication using cookies and permissions stuff on an iPlanet platform, and the client prefers me to use NSAPI filters. I know PHP can be compiled as an NSAPI filter, but is it then full capable?
What I mean is, once compiled as an NSAPI filter, can I do ANYTHING using PHP that will then be included on every request automatically, before parsing the request? Basically, I need to do the following (all before returning content to the client and on EVERY request): 1. Check user's cookies. 2. Grab some XML from the server and check user's cookie and requested file against XML matrix of permissions. 3. Validate permissions and either send user through or send them to login page. Is this doable? This is urgent--please help! TIA
