Integrate Crowd with PHP

We've been using Crowd as an authentication method for one of the PHP applications we use (SugarCRM) for a few weeks now. So far, it's been working really well for us.

I've attached a copy of the library we created as well as a file that shows how to use it. It doesn't implement the entire SOAP API, but the basic stuff is there. This was developed and tested on PHP 5.2.4.

Here is a dump of a working SOAP communication, if that is of any help:

POST http://localhost:8095/crowd/services/SecurityServer HTTP/1.1
Accept: text/xml
Accept: multipart/*
Accept: application/soap
Content-Length: 942
Content-Type: text/xml; charset=utf-8
SOAPAction: ""
