Prasi is a Protocol for Remote Authentication and Shared Information.
Prasi is a single-sign-on system for your Perl or PHP scripts, similar to MS Passport. All your enabled services can save and share user profile data, and need not be one the same physical server. Available in 7 languages.
Prasi was originally written as an in-house tool to power our internal-use web applications. Due to one of the tools now being publically released (Wefis) it was decided to make Prasi an open-source project, despite its similarity to other existing open-source projects.
Prasi can be used on two levels. Firstly, it enables all CGI (Perl or PHP) scripts residing on any server to perform user management without the hassle of user management. One perl procedure call, and the browsing user is identified or challenged. The exact behaviour is easily customisable.
On the second level, Prasi is also able to keep track of user data (for example, profiles) and seamlessly share that profile information with other Prasi-enabled scripts. Using Prasi in this way gives scripts the power of mySQL and other types of databases without needing to manage the data themselves. It's quite nearly magic.
For the end user, one login, one password - all Prasi-enabled scripts instantly know who the user is and customise content accordingly.
