Hi All,
I'm looking for a way to allow users to "authenticate" on my web site without a password. Essentially doing the same as ssh public key authentication. I was hoping to to be able to email user who can access my site a certificate / token or something similar which they store on their machine. Then I would have a piece of PHP code to validate that certificate / token. If they could be validated then they could see the site - if not then they get redirected to another page explaining that access is denied.
Does anyone out ther have any ideas?
Thanks.

Client certificate authentication is usually handled by the webserver (or a webserver module) not a php script.
