Hi Dan, After some initial POC success, there is an actual opportunity of using Isis framework in a rapid development project. We have little time to ponder on whether we should use Isis or go for some other traditional framework. The use cases for this project is not very complex and hence we were thinking of Isis in the first place. But before we can decide, we need to be sure of the feasibility of a few facts.
And the first thing to look into is the authentication and authorization part. So, far I have only used and seen file based authentication but in the framework code I noticed some classes for LDAP authentication. So, my first question is can we integrate easily with an LDAP for the authentication part? If yes, is there any documentation available on the same? As for authorization, we need to show/hide some service and menu links based on roles and these roles would be maintained in application database. So this brings up to my second question, whether that can be achieved or not. In the password files I noticed some mention of roles but did not understand much about that. I would really appreciate if you can kindly comment on these items. Thanks, Sudipto.
