I'm trying to set up our organization's intranet to allow or deny based on the username that the user logged into our LAN with. For a variety of reasons, I can't use LDAP. I have a php script that, with the activation of an ActiveX control on our organization's standard IE browser, does allow Apache to request the username. I'd like to pass this username to an external program I'll write and get a returned value of '0' to deny or '1' to allow the user to access the directory. I can't figure out how to do this. I've read where authorization can be controlled by environmental variables, but I'm not seeing how I can use this. I also checked the LDAP modules, to see if I could interface one to a 'faked-up' LDAP that would return what I needed. Could anyone suggest a system that would allow me to do this, or point me in the right direction? Right now, I'm using Apache 1.3, but would upgrade to 2.0 or 2.2 if I needed to. This is running on a Debian sarge-based system. Thank you for any hints, suggestions or advice.
Look through http://modules.apache.org/. mod_auth_external certainly does this.
