I started building one at my last job, though it was part of a framework I was developing. I knew I was going to need to authenticate against both LDAP and old-fashioned database username/md5-password columns. (Ah, legacy user databases.) If it would be useful, I could dig out what I had and try to make it into a stand-alone set of functions, but I never got further than those two options. Basically there was a script that took in a username and password from a web form, then looked at a config file to decide which set of the sub-functions to use. For a DB, it checked to see if the username and hashed password matched a row in the database; for LDAP, it did some re-encoding to handle the weird encrypt that our OpenLDAP server used, then ran through the process of checking to see if the user actually had that as their password. Like I said, let me know if anyone wants to see it... I'm unemployed right now, and a project to work on this week (or next... this week is kind of busy) might be a good thing. -Andy McKenzie On Mon, Apr 1, 2013 at 6:49 PM, Mark <markg85@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > On Tue, Apr 2, 2013 at 12:27 AM, Sorin Badea <sorin.badea91@xxxxxxxxx> > wrote: > > Hi Mark, > > I think a simple Google search would be faster.
