user authentication with radius server

Post by cryonix »

hello,

i have a question concerning user authentication methods in php. i`m really new with this thematic i hope someone can help me out.

is there a class or a lib available that can handle user authentication not with an textfile or an database, instead i want to use a radius- authentication server (like activcard activpack). this server creates single use passwords for strong user authentication with tokens. can i create a php site that can talk to such radius server over a tcp port and can handle the authentication scheme AND if authentication succeeded connect to a protected ressource on a webserver with radius parameters.

important is that HTTP BASIC AUTH is not used for the radius authentication because the protected website itself has an BASIC AUTH authentication.

if someone has expirience with that and have some tips about that, i`ll be very pleased to hear from them.
if something unclear please mail.

thanx in advance
