Dear Magnolians We're currently working on two projects which will need to authenticate their users from an external source.
One is the "simple" situation: Single logon in a Windows network authenticating against an AD. The standard answer would be: Magnolia EE with LDAP and CAS module. But in order to convince the customer that this is the way to go I wanted to as you about your experience here: - What do I need to know about the customer's AD setup to be able to tell if this works out-of-the-box with Magnolia EE? - If the setup fits and it works out-of-the-box what kind of setup/configuration effort do I need to expect? - If EE is not feasible for the customer, has anyone done it with CE? How much work was it? The second scenario is a bit more complicated: A Magnolia CE solution which needs to authenticate it's "public" users via WebService against an external system. I have not looked into the authentication mechanism to closely yet. We talked about it in the Magnolia training though briefly. If someone could give me a few pointers where to start (what classes to look at and extend), I'd be very grateful. Thanks a bunch! -will ---------------------------------------------------------------- For list details see http://www.magnolia-cms.com/home/community/mailing-lists.html To unsubscribe, E-mail to: <[email protected]> ----------------------------------------------------------------
