Hello all - Today I'm giddy to say that I have officially begun a migration from Coldfusion to Webware for future development at our company. We'll be running on W2000/IIS for a while, with two database options, Access and PostgreSQL. (Most likely both accessed through ADO/ODBC.) Webkit (CGI) is running on our development server, along with a simple ISAPI filter to perform very simple URL rewrites.
We're a database and web design house, so there is no single big project that is going to be converted. New development will be in Python/Webware, but we have a lot of behind the scenes utilities and customer tools written in ColdFusion. Some of these (a somewhat generic database view/edit utility, for example) will probably be useful for webware in general once I convert them, so I'll let you know. Here comes my actual question. We're currently using a rather hacked together set of Coldfusion custome tages for user authentication and permissions. Authentication is similar in concept to SecurePage (database-backed), with permissions as non-inheritable 'Roles' specifying which pages can by accessed by that Role, a user can have any number of roles. There are two 'special' roles, Administrator and World (users having Administrator role get the equivalent of playsRole no matter what, pages in World role skip any checking). Altogether, sort of a first-run at what UserKit seems to be trying to be. I've read the Wiki stuff on UserHandling, just curious I should base a rewrite of our system off of SecurePage, or if UserKit is functional enough. I don't care whether concepts/API will change in future revisions, I'm happy to help test it, suggest changes, whatever. I just want to know I can get a functional system up now. (Permissions use is very light in most of our applications.) Thanks, Luke ===== ------------------ Reference Counting Garbage Collection: Look out philosophy majors, things really DO cease to exist when no one is looking at them! ------------------ __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
