In my application , i have used aspx page , which is not an MCMS Template .I
n
this page I am accessing ceratin postings and their contents based on
parameters and doing certain editing .Here I am not getting authenticated CM
S
context , so I have to create a new CmsApplicationContext() object and call
AuthenticateAsUser()  with UserID and Password passed as parameters .
Can I do the authentication for this non-CMS page in a better way
or is there way out to match HttppContext.Current of the non-CMS page with
CmsHttpContext.Current of the CMS-page from which this non-CMS page was
called?
Pls Help .
Thanx,
Sivaji

Hi Sivaji,

if your pages are in a MCMS template project you could also use
CmsHttpContext. There is no need to use the CmsApplicationContext.

Cheers,
Stefan

Hi Stefan,
Thanx for ur reply. I used CmsHttpContext.Current  and it worked.But my
requirement is the modification and updation of the  posting contents , for
which I was using
cmsContext.AuthenticateAsUser("user","password",PublishingMode.Update);
and it was serving my purpose .But with CmsHttpContext , it fails because it
is not in the PublishingMode.Update mode.How can I set this mode to
PublishingMode.Update?
Thanx,
Sivaji

Hi Sivaji,

you need to add NRMODE=Update to the querystring to achieve this.
Or you need to use application context. Using windows authentication you
could do it this way:

CmsApplicationContext cmsContext = new CmsApplicationContext();
WindowsIdentity ident = HttpContext.Current.User.Identity as
WindowsIdentity;
cmsContext.AuthenticateUsingUserHandle(ident.Token,PublishingMode.Update);

Using forms authentication you need to use AuthenticateAsUser.

Cheers,
Stefan

Hi Stefan,
Thanx for ur suggestion .I could not use NRMODE=Update becoz I am clueless
about where and how this send this query string(also my aspx page is a
non-CMS page) as this one is undocumented CMS 2002 Help file.
I tried the second option and wrote code as u suggested ,but I am getting
NullReferenceException with WindowsIdentity ident set to null.The reason
looks like the statement:
WindowsIdentity ident = HttpContext.Current.User.Identity as WindowsIdentity
;
does not help ident get any reference ,although
HttpContext.Current.User.Identity is not null.
Can u advise where I am going wrong?
Thanx,
Sivaji

Hi Sivaji,

as indicated this will only work with windows authentication. Not with guest
and not with forms authentication.

For the query string: just call your page with NRMODE=Update on the
querystring!

http://server/yourproject/youraspxp...x?NRMODE=Update

Cheers,
Stefan
