ezproxyticket.php

<?php

// This PHP class can be used to generate EZproxy tickets.  See
// ticket URLs.  When creating a new EZproxyTicket option,
// the first parameter is the EZproxy server base
// URL, the second is the shared secret that appears in user.txt/ezproxy.usr,
// the third is a username to associate with the user, and the
// last is optional and specifies any EZproxy groups the user
// should be associated with.
//
// If you use a shared secret of shhh, then in user.txt/ezproxy.usr you
// might use:
//      ::Ticket
//      MD5 shhhh
//      /Ticket
// to allow EZproxy to recognzie your tickets.
//
// Once the object is created, you can call its url method with a
// database URL to generate a ticket URL.
