Hey,

I'm writing cause I wanted to ask some knowledgeable programmers if they knew the answer to this.

We would like to create a PHP script, which will use MSSql (which i kind of irrelevant) and it will be running on the intranet.

We were wondering if it's possibly to use a user's Domain Login Information as authentication for a script that will be made. The script will manage an inventory list across departments.

We would like to create it so that users from a certain department will access the site, the their Authentication information used by the Windows Server environment will automatically log them in, and show the relevant information for them.

I'm not sure if it's possible with PHP, but figured I'd ask.

If it's not - wouldn't it be possible to direct a user to something that would allow it (such as a Microsft programming language) and then forward them along with relevant login information, to a PHP script?

If something was difficult to understand, please let me know.

Thanks for your time!

Assuming your Windows network is based on Active Directory then you can use PHP's ldap functions to connect to it, check logins, get info, etc.

Take a look at http://adldap.sourceforge.net/ for a useful class for doing it.
