Is mcrypt a requirement for the PHP server? #2

Closed kds100 closed 10 years ago

kds100 commented 10 years ago

I am in the process of building a test application with the provider. What I get back is : Mcrypt PHP extension required.

I would install the extension if I could, but it is not up to me.

It makes perfect sense that it would be required.. some things are just beyond our control.

Thank you for sharing the code.

Unfortunately, Laravel does require MCrypt to function properly.

Thank you for the quick response. I should have checked the Laravel docs first, I so want to combine the code with the Shibboleth authentication that we do have running on campus.

I have inherited an enormous amount of very old, very insecure code. Asking the server admin why we don't have mcrypt running..

Mcrypt is very well supported so hopefully you will not have any issue with that http://us3.php.net/mcrypt.
