We have an internal app here that we would like to integrate with FlexWiki. The idea is that we would have a IE control in the .Net app that shows a custom view of some wiki pages. The implementation for this is pretty straightforward, but we recently hit upon a snag: our internal app has its own security model.
The issue is that certain pieces of data in the app are marked private, and can only be viewed by a set of users (defined per-item). We would like to be able to add the capability for FlexWiki to check our app's security database to restrict access to the corresponding wiki pages. I'm curious what the feasibility of this would be? Ideally, we would like to use the built-in security provider for most of the pages, but on a per-page basis layer on top of it the means to secure a page using a user/role list that comes from our app's database. Roughly, I am thinking of something where the wiki looks for a property named something like _CustomSecurityProvider that understands how to check the internal database first and then fallback to the wiki provided security if nothing was specified. Being an internal app, we can assume that the usernames will match (we are using Active Directory for wiki auth, and can assume that the internal app will use the same names). Does this sound feasible? Any other issues that might come up? ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
