Re: Cross-Platform Pluggable Authentication & Authorization

I believe that Authen::PAM, combined with the underlying PAM (pluggable authentication modules) system, will solve your problem for Unix-like systems. If PAM hasn't yet been ported to Windows, well, somebody's gotta go first. :-)

No kidding.... ~~Looking at the POD, I think the PAM module on one side and Win32::NetAdmin might work (maybe)~~. If someone can point me towards any favorite Win32 authentication modules, that would be a great help. update: NetAdmin must be run on the PDC, no good for directory authentication there. Darn :) I think due to work agreements I wouldn't be able to submit my cross-platform GLUE back to CPAN, but I suppose I could re-invent it on my own time if it ended up working out. Or I could ask my dog to do it -- I'd have to get a dog first though :)	[reply]
