Hi,

Let me phrase my problem,...

Three PHP websites running on an IIS webserver which is in a Windows Network. All users log in on their computers with a network account.

If this is the case I would need to get their network account without them typing it.

So automatic logon on a PHPNuke, a PHPBB and another PHP website... if they're not logged in on the network they should have to be able to login on those sites with their networkaccount.

LDAP? but how to get the username logged in on the computer?
and How to synchronize the MySQL databases of Nuke & BB with the Domain Network Accounts (LDAP directory)?

Thanks in Advance, Mista

do u want it that they can stay logged in? i believe you can do that with cookies.

Thanks for answering DarkCarnival,

let's repaint the picture ;-)

three websites, A, B and C

every computer they login to with their account should give them automatic access (with their username & password) to all three websites...

also the authentication of the websites needs to use their Domain account & pwd not a 3 different accounts, one for every website... I also want to bypass the login procedure of the websites (PHPNuke, PHPBB & Claroline)

also the password has to be changed every 6 weeks... so some communication with the Domain Controller is essential...

When accessing from e.g. home the websites should require a single login (on one of the three sites with the network account) to have access to all three websites.

thanks in advance, Mista
