Is this in a web/CGI context? If so, have a look at mod_auth_oracle. If not, you might still draw good ideas/code from that module. | [reply] |

Its really tough to answer your question w/o more information. Assuming you are in a CGI/mod_perl/apache
environment, I would highly recommend Lincoln Stein's book Writing Apache Modules in Perl which discusses all the nifty things you can do in
during the authorization/authenticaion phases. This includes connecting to a backend database and granting access based on a login and password combo.
