We currently experimenting with http://www.kewlstuff.co.za/ this product
It comes with a simple example of how to set up a kerberos type system.
We trying to make a system where people can register for different services,
and then gain access to them. The idea is that if a person has bought more
than 2 they get big perks on the rest, and depending on the mix, some
services become free.
Its not a server that you just set up, you got to write VB code, but once
you get into it, its easy, flexible and very cheap.
