 I have a few questions for people using oracle for authentication for a  webserver. System is using apache for the front end, on solaris 2.4. Database  is on a seperate box. The problem I am trying to get around is the repeated  logins into the database to check if the user is valid. Possible ways around this might be having a deamon talking to the database, and talking to child httpd processes.

  1. Are you using a socket to connect to or, does your process have to log into the system the database is ong, then log into the database, then do the query. And return results?
  2. Is there a socket set up for the web server to talk to using the oracle runtime.
  3. Is there deamon software available for the webserver to connect to? Or do you have to write it your self.
