php authentication

[dave]

Hello,
I'm trying to get php authentication going both on a Linux rh9 box and
two *bsd systems. In none of these cases is it working as passwords are
shadowed and i don't want to make the shadowed password files readable. Does
anyone have this going preferably without using an external sql database?
Thanks.
Dave.

Hello,
Thanks for the reply. I looked at mod_pam, but it appeared as if it only
worked with apache .htaccess, i want to use php to control access.
Thanks.
Dave.

Use mod_pam for /authentication/ and PHP for /authorisation/.

I would think $_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER'] is available even if
you authenticated using mod_pam.
