Ryan,
I haven't seen any answers to your post...
This is most certainly possible, but will not scale for a large number of
users. SER will fork a child for each exec when exec command is encountered
(i.e. no ready forked children) and the overhead is pretty large. You are
also vulnerable to the script as a failure in the script may cause the SER
child to hang. If the same error occurs in several SER children, SER will
not be able to process requests.

Hi,
I'm thinking of implementing authentication using exec
commands. For example, I have a script that checks if a user exists
in a database. For Register methods i will run this script, if the
script exit with 1 the use will be rejected and if the script exit 0
the user is authenticated. Is this possible?
Thanks,
