Author Custom code for outside user to post - getting past authentication
Mike

Scenario: A custom page will allow outside users, who will need to log in
successfully, to add a posting.

My initial idea is to use the CMSApplicationContext object. But the user
needs to be authenicated because I need to set the following method,
AuthenticateUsingUserHandle, before I can post. Since the user won't be in
AD but an external authentication - how could i authetnicate the user?

Would a "generic" user added to AD and then assigning it a CMS role work?

Thanks.

Hi Mike,

please check the MCMS documentation. The custom authenticaiton section
describes what to do.

Cheers,
Stefan
