[CALUG] Off Topic: Solaris + Apache + PHP + MySQL + MS-SQL

[Rajiv Gunja]

Bernie,
Thanks. I took the easy way out. I uninstalled Webstack and went with
Blastwave's packages. It got me everything I needed and all the libraries
and extensions I could possibly want.

If only, someone could code for me, life would be simple. :)

I got most of my web-pages coded, but now I have to beautify them, so they
are appealing to use.

Now my next challenge: Create a web-page which will challenge the user with
Login/Password. I have 3 choices: A. SSO, B. Local Unix Auth, C. Windows
Domain.

I would prefer B (Local Unix password Auth), but Windows Domain Auth will
also do. But I do not know where to start. Most of the PHP books I am
referring, are pointing to local MySQL DB for user Auth. Not even sure if
PHP can Auth using Local user ID or Windows Domain user. If you know a book
which talks about this, let me know. Right now I have about 8 PHP/MySQL
books at home.
