History for SecurePortalDashboard
??changed:
-
Fundamental Requirements
* Allow PortalMember(s) to join and login using their existing
SMB credentials (highest)
* Honor previous authentications (e.g., from viewing the site "above"
the portal) (high)
* Avoid manual "member setup" hassles (i.e., create member folders
"lazily", rather than in an "eager" upfront batch).
-- *Note that ditching this requirement would trim initial deployment
time significantly: a "preloaded" portal would only have to solve
the bare authentication problem, and could sidestep trying to set
up accounts-on-demand cleanly.*
Key Topics (especially important if we DoTheRightThing)
* ExternalMemberAuthentication
- PortalUsesAcquiredUserFolder
- PortalEmbedsExternalUserSource
- JoinOnlyCreatesMemberFolder
* Authentication types
- SMBValid
- PluggableAuthenticationModule
- KerberosTicket
- LightweightDirectoryAccessProtocol
- XFiveOhNineCertificate
Quick hacks
- Rip out the user-creation code in the current join mechanism (but
leave the CreateMemberFolder bit)
- Rip out the part which creates a user folder when during portal
instantiation
