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
