As the subject says. I need authentication for the server based upon MySQL.

The software is open source, so shouldnt be a problem there.

We are looking at implementing a scalable authentication scheme for an already established, open-source piece of streaming software --- www.icecast.org

It would allow multiple relays(servers) to stream to the users, using authentication from a 'central' MySQL server.

All the code for icecast is open source, and would be hosted for others to reap off of my $$ paying someone to develop.

We have a Message Board (forum) with almost 1000 users, and growing. Their username is in a table.

Icecast uses a md5 string hashed password.

We would like to get Icecast to authenticate based upon the fields of username and password (md5 has) in the table.

Hopefully this will take under a week to develop, plus a day or two of testing time.

I also have Vonage, so unlimited LD to USA/Canada :)

Yours,
