We have some PHP web sites set up to authenticate users via Cosign

I'm setting up a new site that will have 1000+ users over time. I
understand that the single .htaccess file is not the best way to do
authentication with a large group of users. What methods are other
admins out there using to authenticate large groups of users?
As background, we run a single server running Apache 2.x, Cosign 2.x,
MySQL 5.x on Mac OSX Server 10.5.2. We previously used the Zope
application server which handled our authentication/authorization for
us, so this is new territory for me.
Hi Chris,
There's a decent overview of the various common approaches here:

LDAP would be my own preferred most-scalable approach, although getting
it up and running is not for the faint of heart. For 1000+ users
probably using MySQL is the most straightforward approach that will work
Just Fine.
cheers,
Eric
