authentication with NT accts

Anon

hello.

Is it possible to to use the user account information on an NT domain as user accounts to log into a website with php?

For example, say my NT system has 2 user accounts on it, "bob" and "joe"

I want to be able make it so bob and joe can log onto my php-based website using the passwords and usernames from their NT accounts.

The PHP would need to be able to talk to NT to get login information similar to the way i would get it from a database.

thanks.

I don't think that PHP can interface with the SAM of NT as it would be a huge security hole. The best that you could do would be to pick up the user name from the HTTP headers.

Yes, this works great. But you need to use IIS (not Apache) as the server. Then all you need to do is to either ACL protect your folder (to fine-grain access to your PHP pages) or simply embed something like this on each of your PHP pages in a starting include...

---snip---
if (!isset($REMOTE_USER)) {
header("status: 401 unauthorized");
}
---snip---

This seems to work great under IIS.
