(ASCEND) Access Control realm issues
Hi all,
I'm trying to integrate Access Control into our existing authentication
here, (mainly for the simultaneous use restrictions), but want to use
realms to handle different classes of users. I'm seeing though that when
Access Control proxies off a user to another server, it sends the
complete user+realm to the other server, and I was hoping to use vanilla
free Ascend code for these servers which get the proxies. Has anyone
hacked /patched their free Ascend code to cut off the realm info on auth
requests?, or can the free Merit code help me out here, in that atleast
it knows about realms...
Also for load sharing on the servers which are being proxied too, I'm
considering using round robin DNS, but am not sure if this technique will
work reliably (ie authfile realm points to a hostname, which is actually
2 servers using round robin DNS) Does it work?
