PHP and Windows Server Authentication
Is it possible to create a login form and check the username and password against the Windows user accounts? I'm not sure if I said that right.

No, that would go under security infringement. You could gain access the the user's machine that way.dallasx wrote:Is it possible to create a login form and check the username and password against the Windows user accounts? I'm not sure if I said that right.

I mean for protecting parts of my site. Instead of having a database full of employee login information and the Windows user directory, couldn't I check for a valid account against the Windows server?foobar wrote:No, that would go under security infringement.

What I'm trying to do is limit my margin of error. I could overlook a terminated employee or something like that whereas the MIS department maintains the employee accounts and will delete them on the spot.
My hangover is to blame for my explanation.
