Author Administering CMS from remote server
Nanda

Hi,

I want to administer the CMS web server (1) from a remote server (2). I am
using CMSApplicationContext object from the remote server (2) which is also
installed with CMS that is pointing to different MCMS Database. Following is
my code where I am initialising the object:

appContext.AuthenticateAsUser(NTUser, NTPwd,
PublishingMode.Update,"MCMSAdmin","Administrators",mcmsRemoteDomain);

The problem is that when I iterate thru the channels, I still get the
channels that are on the local machine. Can you please tell me how to do this
job?

Thanks!!

whilst included in the enumeration this is not possible.
unless you go via web services, your application needs to be run on the MCMS
server.

Hi Spencer,

Thanks for the response. But how are we able to access a remote MCMS with
the Site Manager (installed locally), to administer the remote MCMS server
without the web services being installed?

Regards,
Nanda

Site Manager uses custom XML requests to ASP targets and undocumented legacy
components to provide remote management. This is not exposed via PAPI.

Hi Nanda,

Site manager makes calls back to the webserver (similar to web services).

Spence meant that you cannot use the PAPI on a remote computer.

Hi Nanda,

that is not possible. You can't access a remote machine.
the remote domain thing below is to allow custom authentication mechanims
that require a different machine for the authentication data source. Not to
authenticate against a remote machine.

CmsApplicationcontext can only be used on the local machine.
You should follow the webservice approach mentioned by Spencer.

Cheers,
Stefan
