[PHP-WIN] Authorization on IIS5 (PHP4; Win2k) From: Joel Gilbert (joel.gilbert <email protected>)
Date: 04/23/01

Hi,
I'm trying to set up user-specific site settings with authentication. I need
to be able to validate accounts to a Win2K Active Directory server, as there
are several hundred accounts active, and they change on a regular basis. I
have the IIS authentication working fine, but I want to be able to have a
way of checking their group membership (in Win2K) so that PHP can determine
whether to display certain pages depending on whether they are members of
administrator, student or teachers groups. I am pretty sure that there is an
IIS interface for ASP (VBScript) to get the username/password variables from
the IIS Authentication, but I don't know how or if it is possible to access
that using PHP's COM support.

I can do this manually in PHP, but like I said there are too many accounts
to handle this way. I think that I can use cookies to store the user
preferences, but am I right in thinking that if they log on from another
computer their settings won't be loaded? At this point I am considering
handling the initial login information gathering through ASP and then
passing that information to the PHP pages.

Any and all help on this is much appreciated.
