PHPRunner General questions

Hi,
I ran through your tutuorials related to security. Is it possible to enable external authentication? Once we decide to use PHPRunner, soon I'll need to find ways to authenticate user through the campus kerberos server. Please see the url at:

I guess everything is possible but since I am a newbie with PHP I thought I ask the pros before committing to PHPRunner. Please advise. Thanks.
Bernie

Hi

if you search the forum here for LDAP, you will find a working example of how to authenticate through LDAP, I know it isn't kerberos, but it does work and I guess you are using Active Directory?

It's very easy to plug in third party authentication service.
For example you can use BeforeLogin event to place PHP code that does external authentication and redirect user to the applications's start page if authentication was successfull.
