We currently intend to bundle a digest authentication adapter as a concrete proof-of-concept for the framework authentication component design. Below is a short list of additional adapters we could also consider for development, especially as community members volunteer to contribute on them! If you do not see the adapter you want listed, simply edit this page, and add it to the list.

You must login to place your vote. If you have not yet created an account, please sign up!

Which concrete authentication adapter would you most like to see delivered with the Zend Framework? (Log In to vote.)
RDBMS (as supported through Zend_Db)
LDAP
RADIUS
Kerberos V
POP/IMAP
UNIX passwd file format
PAM
SMB
OpenID
Microsoft Passport
HTTP Basic file format

I think it would be useful to have these:
1. DB
2. Unix file

HTTP is not really a standalone adapter, since HTTP is an input data format, but there's also the backend format, which can be file, DB, LDAP etc.

DB and UNIX passwd file formats are already in the list. Maybe you mean something different by UNIX file?

About HTTP Basic authentication, I think you're correct. I had intended the listing to mean that we might support the file backend used in mod_auth_basic, for example. But for now I've deleted the entry since it has no votes.

If people should want such an adapter, they can add it to the list and vote for it.

Oh, I thought maybe we could select more than one.

For me, RDBMS and LDAP would be extremely useful. HTTP Basic/Digest would also be helpful.

What about client SSL certificates?

I often develop intranet applications reading the distinguished name from a client cert.

LDAP LDAP LDAP !
this can be Active Directory, Open LDAP or others...
Please note that AD uses some specific attributes lile Samaccountname to hold the windows login.nd I don't believe this is standard LDAP...

Also NTLM would be very useful, and is easy to implement : simply Auth users with the $login=$_SERVER['AUTH_USER'].
The Auth process is done by IIS, if the user may access the php page, it is because he/she has already been authentified by IIS. We only need to get the login back to match a application user in PHP.

The benefit is that users on a intranet do not need to give their password again. they are granted access by IIS depending on Win NT groups.

very very useful !

With all the noise about OpenID at present surely a reference implementation would improve take up of OpenID and also encourage people to use the Framework?

I also think that an implementation of an OpenID Adapter would be good for the Zend Framework!!!
The reference implementation could also be an wrapper class of the already existend "official" Library from Janrain.
