So your app/framework stands in for the OS for authentication/authorization? I can understand that for public sites, but it doesn't like a good idea for in-house. The first problem being another set of credentials for every user.

Subject: Re: [WEB400] In-house authentication & authorization


I know Apache can handle authentication for static pages & CGI, but
what about other things like PHP, Node, Java, etc?


You'd need an application and a framework for handling:

1. Authentication.
2. Authorization.
3. Access (i.e. only show menus and menu items which users are authorized to).
4. Opening multiple apps & toggling between them.
5. Setting Favorites.
6. Defining user/group authorities to resources.
7. An API to check user authorities to resources.

This is the type of infrastructure needed to build products with ERP-type scope.
