Other webpages are not build with MarkLogic Server. Users and roles are already assigned to limit what a particular user can see/edit. Instead of authenticating the user against MarkLogic Database, I want to authenticate it against an external database. I want to authenticate first and take the user to his assigned view. For this to happen, I am thinking to select a particular way.
It is to keep authentication to application level. Point the application builder to a custom log in page. Authenticate against an external/other database using MLSQL. After successful authentication directing it to page depending upon the user role. Can you please let me know whether this can happen?
