[Mailman-Users] Add Security Features in PHP

[Wang, Mary Y]

Hi Wash,

I am sorry that I didn't make it clear.  I have a web collaboration tool
that is using the Mailman for the mailing list service.  Every user is
required to log in in order to use the collaboration tool.  The security
checking that I was talking about is to check user's person status against
Boeing's internal database.  All this security/log in checking is written in
php.  What I am saying is that I don't want any users access Mailman pages
unless he/she is logged in.  I don't know really know how to program in
Python yet.

Is there anyway that I can interface Mailman with PHP code?

Thanks in advance.  

Mary

Hi Mary,

What do you feel is lacking (so far) in terms of the security that mailman
provides? Not that I am negating your question. I am still so new to mailman
but I am also satisfied with the level of security that it gives so far, in
terms of access to list admin, members list, archives. Well maybe for me I'm
not anal about security but those seem enough to me.
Maybe you should join the dev team and introduce new features ;-)


        cheers
