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.

If you add something new here you might want to send a short announcement to cs-raven-announce@lists.cam.ac.uk - it's a moderated list but relevant posts will be approved.
