IANAP (I am not a programmer :-), but I have quite a strong feeling that having only a cookies based authentication system could cause us problems. There are issues because people turn them off (fair enuff I turn them off), and I have a hunch that some firewalls chuck them on the floor or something like that. If we do decide to use cookies the system needs to work even if people don't have them enabled IMO. Our Government guidelines are quite anti cookies so I'd rather not if there is another way. Anyway, just wanting to raise my 2c Cheers R
I know there was comment of LDAP or some sort of not-at-all DB solution -- this might become more important in terms of performance, I'd think, if there was a lot of checking of ID and characteristics. (Esp. if we were to hang attributes/preferences on this).
Just raising for discussion...
