I have two servers: ServerA and ServerB. One server serves web pages, the
other serves mail. I am making a web page on ServerA that will access
ServerB to find out if a users exists and if not then add that user to
ServerB with information collected from the web page on ServerA.
I have this in a php file:
$idResults = `ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED] id bigbob 2>&1`;
echo "id: (".$idResults.")\r\n"."\r\n";
if (ereg("no such user", $idResults)) {
echo 'username is available!';
}
When I access the page I get:
Could not create directory '/nonexistent/.ssh'.
Host key verification failed.
This, of course, is because the script is being run as "www" who has no
place to put ssl keys.
Could this be solved by having "www" "su" to a user who has remote access
privileges? Something like this:
$idResults = `su admin | ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED] id bigbob 2>&1`;
echo "id: (".$idResults.")\r\n"."\r\n";
if (ereg("no such user", $idResults)) {
echo 'username is available!';
// function addUserToServerB(vars);
}
Anyone else doing or done something like this?
Thanks,
