Try passing (your script on the user intranet side) a secure token via a back-end channel with a timeout value + plus user hash/id
.. while user attempts to access the front-end website with the login user hash/id str (GET) else POST This is the approach with Paypal, eGovt one login, SOAP etc ________________________________ From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Dan Friis Sent: Tuesday, 1 June 2010 1:41 To: [email protected] Subject: [phpug] Automated login from Windows machine -> *Nix server Hi PHPUG I'm looking to setup a portal website with separate agents across multiple countries. Each agent uses Windows and has an intranet and I want to know how to make a machine from each intranet automatically authenticate on the portal website which is a *nix Apache server. It must be something more secure than a particular URL since anyone who has access to that URL could become authenticated. A combination of URL and IP address is also open to hackers. It would need to be a script on the local machine for each agent, preferably something that runs during the Windows login procedure or in the background somewhere. Can anyone recommend a particular solution/product or point me in the right general direction?
