I have decided that I will be implementing using the Apache server, can I retrieve the data from the Microsoft Access Token built when a User logs on, and use this for Authentication? Any help would be greatly apreciated.

Thinking Further, which may help you to help me, as the users are logged on already, authentication isn't really needed, however to record the sessions and secure users from accessing specific parts of the database, the application must retrive the user name from the Windows user list and work out who's using it.  I have created a sessions MsSQL DB that can store the user names and usage level.  So what I need to know is what functions I'd need to create for it and can I use Apache to host this. Thanks

Hi all, I'd like some advice as to best methods to takle this project I'm undertaking. I work for a small company, and have decided to create a cusomised database with a php frountend.  We have a server running Win 2k Server with IIS 5 and MsSQL.  Since then I have installed php 5.1.4 and PEAR.  I have created the database and am now working on the framework and some of the coding for the application.  Now I know that what I want to do isn't security concious however is how everyone wants it done.  Is it possible to use Windows Authentication to access the application and create sessions for each user?  Also as IIS 5 doesn't support some services without having Global Variables On (Which I don't want) can I use the windows Authentication in Apache, and would it be easy to port what I have done so far from IIS to Apache. Thanks in Advance.

Problem Solved

Hi All, I've installed pear into my web server's (IIS4.5) wwwroot.  Now there are files all over the place.  I went into the PEAR management page and changed the locations to ~wwwroot/PEAR/whateverDir and before commiting the changes, physically moved the folders there.  After commiting it did not like the changes due to a pearsys.ini problem, not that I could find this "pearsys.ini" anywhere.  However located a pear.ini, also cluttering up my web server directory. I opened up this file and edited the settings directly in there. and wanted to move this file and the cunningly named index.php (which opens the PEAR manager) from my web directory into the PEAR folder.  Now I get this error : WARNING: channel "pear.php.net" has updated its protocols, use "channel-update pear.php.net" to updatePHP Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 60 seconds exceeded in c:\Inetpub\wwwroot\PEAR\PEAR\REST.php on line 359 PHP Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 60 seconds exceeded in c:\Inetpub\wwwroot\PEAR\PEAR.php on line 765 When using the "pear channel-update pear.php.net" in the comand prompt it doesnt recognise the command.  Is there a way I can just uninstall it and start afresh?  Or can anyone specify how I can get round this? Thanks in advance.
