Hello, So I could use MCF as a servise provider for authorization. That is nice but only if the formats agree (I'll check that). But still there is one question left: What authorization component to use if users and indexed files are not on the Windows servers, but on the Ubuntu server with Unix style file rights of type rwxr--r-- ? Also, could I use AD component for Windows not in a domain?
