I'm just curious as to why you need to verify someone's Route Y credentials.
I dislike immensely providing that password to units other than the actual Route Y. That situation easily lends itself to non authorized impersonation. Is it absolutely necessary? An easier method if you absolutely must: just attach directly to BYU's LDAP. If you can login to the LDAP with their username/ password, it's legit. Just disconnect when your done. The University should really provide a mechanism so that the Route Y credentials can be used around campus, without having everyone give their password away. I think I've got a way around it -- hopefully I'll get it implemented this summer. -- Devlin On Apr 26, 2007, at 12:17 PM, Michael L Torrie wrote: > Armed with knowledge gained on this list that route y login does not > have anything to do with javascript, and with Trevan's information > about > the live http headers plugin for firefox, I was able to construct a > simple php function that follows the mess of byu's redirects and is > able > to return a simple true or false answer when I need to verify a user's > route Y credentials. -------------------- BYU Unix Users Group http://uug.byu.edu/ The opinions expressed in this message are the responsibility of their author.
