Authenticating Window's users?
Posted: Wed Jun 13, 2007 1:27 pm
I'm planning to create a web-based IT Room booking application for my college.
Eventually I wish for the application to use PHP to interact with a mysql database, to display times when the room is booked etc and when the room is free.
Before the main page is displayed, I would like the Windows account to be authenticated...
If a student, then a read-only timetable is displayed. Or if a tutor then a editable booking table appears.
If it's not possible to find the group the user belongs to, then if I can find, display and test the username that would also work.
Students at the college have distinct login's. They begin with two digits. "98" or "99" or "01" or "02" or "05" or "07" etc. (The 00's are the year they entered the college")
The staff's usernames don't have any particular pattern.
I know this is possible using "aspx" I'm presuming the same is possible using PHP.
TIA
