Autheticate users based on local machine account via php

Post by amir »

This is what I am trying to do:
I am writing an application that would have the user login in php... I would like it to authenticate it to the windows local accounts, then the user would have access to the local drive (certain folder) based on what permission they have..... (NTFS permission)
So if Joe logs in, then the user Joe would be directed to the joe folder on that machine which he has access to (NTFS).... this way if Joe tries to access John's folder, the NTFS permission would block him!!!!

I think ldap will work for identification, but I am not sure it can be used for authentication through PHP. I could be wrong though.

I believe NTLM can be used for authentication.
