Maybe I should explain the purposes of my site to give a better understanding of the problems I'm facing.
I'm building a new site for a department of our enterprise. All the enterprise's computers/users are connected to an intranet. My site should be accessible for all users who are connected to the intranet, except for certain pages. Those pages should be restricted to the users belonging to this specific department only. All users are stored in AD and the idea is that you should only need to login once, and that is when you logon to the intranet. The present outdated site, based on Java too, uses a LDAP-connection to verify if an user belongs to this department, thus granting or denying access to some of the pages. My idea was to build the site using Lenya and then importing all the users that are allowed to visit certain pages and create a specific group for them. As the site is only accessible from inside of the intranet I guess all users on the intranet belong to the "world" visitor group in Lenya. The point is that no visitor of the website, even the "special visitors" should have to login manually to the site (of course the admin, reviewer, site manager etc should log in). When a visitor should want to visit one of the restricted pages, an automatic connection should be made to the AD, verifying if the visitor should be granted access or not (just like it works now with the present site). I wonder if this is possible at all with Lenya?? Richard Frovarp wrote: > > jazzhazze wrote: >> I've found the HTML-source of the error page that occurs when I try to >> add a >> LDAP-user.
