To use Raven authentication on a webserver you need to implement a 'Application Agent'. This could be built-in to a web application (such as a CGI script or a PHP program), or it could be an 'Authentication handler' for the webserver that you are using.
Application Agents are available for various platforms and with varying levels of support.

Provided by others
- Tomcat authenticator and JAAS implementation

- Ruby CGI scripts
- I also have ruby scripts to authenticate via raven using a webrick server and for ruby on rails applications. Contact tamc2 if you need them (I will clean them up and post them at some point).
