Author Published page (postings) privileges by LDAP

Hi Stefan,

I have the following task with MCMS, I need your great suggestion:

My company wanted to use MCMS based website. In the published
environment, my company will give some privileges on some pages for its
suppliers/customers. Eg. Purchase Order page/Invoice/payment pages.

Normal visitor should not access this page. We will provide Login
module, once visitors enter username/password. They will be treated as
vendors/customers based on the priviliges.

1. For privileges we thought of using LDAP (ADAM). Is it correct
choice? Or do u recommend any other LDAP.

2. If we use LDAP. How can we use LDAP users in MCMS based published
postings for access/deny the pages?

Looking forward your guidance.

Hi BSM,

with MCMS LDAP can be used for authentication but not for authorization.
Authoritzation can only be done against NT/AD accounts.

So you would need to implement a mapping between LDAP and NT/AD accounts to
get what you need.
The "customer auhentication" section in the MCMS documentation discusses how
to achieve this.
In addition there is an article regarding LDAP authentication on Spencers
site:

Cheers,
Stefan
