Automatially change access right to WCM content after changing AD

2007-06-11, 7:21 am

Hi !

We are using WPS 5.1 with Microsoft AD.
We have this website where the content is managed with WCM. Each content item has access rights to usergroups in our AD.
Our AD-administrator wants to change the structure of the AD (change groupname, change ou,...). It seems that when he does that, the content disappear for the users (WCM uses labels, inte SID ???).
Is there a way to automatically change the content's access rights to mirror the changes in AD ?
I mean, with pages and portlets, I suppose I could use XmlAccess to update access rights. But with WCM ?

How about upgrading to WPS 6.0 ? Will that solve our problem ?
