Hi Michiel. Did you take a look at the webworld-studios-site (http://www.wwstudios.com/index_wws.cfm/286/) where they introduce "Webworld Studios Custom Security Solution for Macromedia Spectra Beta Version - An Alternative to SiteMinder". (I think this has already been suggested by someone else from the list, but the problem seems to be that no one has already tried it ;-) For our product GateBuilder, based on Spectra, we only use SiteMinder for Authentication and using our own (CODB-based) data/application-logic for Authorization. (-> So we always can stop fiddling around with Netegrity-issues when we reached the point where <cfauthenticate ...> is working ;-) It was also quite easy to switch to a "non-SiteMinder-Authentication"-logic just my "overwriting" the calls to <cfauthenticate>, isAuthenticated(), authenticatedUser() by custom (DB-based) logic. Are you planning to use the "securing-object/type/method"-authorization-schema from Spectra and just looking for a more stable foundation/plattform or do you actually don't need this kind of security at all (and therefore don't want to spend time with installing siteminder issues, of course) ? regards, Peter Trumpp conceptware ag -----Urspr�ngliche Nachricht----- Von: Michiel Boland [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Gesendet am: Mittwoch, 1. August 2001 10:44 An: Spectra-Talk Betreff: Please Please Please Lose SiteMinder Hi. Can we please get rid of this SiteMinder mess? Yesterday I spent yet another agonising number of hours troubleshooting a CF5 installation on Solaris with Siteminder. That software is so prone to problems it isn't funny. I don't know what deal Allaire/MM have made with Netegrity but I do hope that it does not mean that Siteminder will always be a requirement for Spectra. So can we please get a bit of sanity and revert the fatal mistake of bundling SiteMinder with spectra? I can only speak for myself of course but I think that everyone on this list has the same feelings. -- Michiel Boland <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Digital Valley Internet Professionals Plantsoen 17, Wageningen, The Netherlands Phone: +31 317 465555, Fax: +31 317 460276 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Structure your ColdFusion code with Fusebox.
