Author Custom Authentication without using Active Directory
Microsoft

2005-09-23, 7:49 am

I need to integrateCMS with an ASP.NET system which holds user details in a
database. So, my first problem is that I really do not want to then
replicate this in some directory service and have to keep it synchronised.
This would be a real headache with a user base of > 50,000. I will also have
a lot of user data and preferences stored in my database.

So, is there any way of implementing real custom authentication in that you
can specify your own storage and authentication?

Hi,

for authentication this is possible - but not for authorization.
Authorization can only be done against an NT/AD account.

So if you are looking on for custom authentication, please check the "custom
authentication" section in the MCMS documentation.

Cheers,
Stefan
