Authentication

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Aug 23.2006

OK I have this great little page made that hits each of our Active Directory ldap directories to see if a username and password match what was submitted. Now I have the task of replacing all my pages that are currently authenticating against a database.

The auth page basicly hits the ldap directory and sets a counter to 0 or 1, 1 allowing access 0 not allowing access. Which brings me to my questions.

  • 1.

    If I do an include(auth.php) can I pass variables around as if both pages where one? Or would I need a post or get method?

  • 2.

    If I have to move a variable from one page to another, what is the most secure method? (hidden input using post?)

    @Doc_ThirstauthorAug 23.2006 — I guess I should also mention I'm also using the above code to update the password stored in the database until I can get all the apps based on it updated. What is the perferred method of encryption for this. I would want to avoid displaying the password in plain text more then anything. So maybe just converting it to ansi would suffice. Too risky?

    Success!
