ManifoldCF Authentication

[Smitha S <Sm...@infosys.com>]

Hi Karl,

I have a requirement to crawl documents shared using window share and index them to solr. The sharing permissions of window share decides which user can access documents. The window share is under Active Directory.

I  have an web application where the search results are displayed. Currently we are handling authentication and authorization with a DB approach.

Now we are planning to use the Authentication module of ManifoldCF to decide the access rights of documents. Because of some client side restrictions, I cannot use Active Directory for login into the web application. In that case, do u see any challenges in using ManifoldCF for providing access rights for documents?

Thanks & Regards,
Smitha S

Hi Smitha,

As long as you provide some means of authentication in your web
application, other than Active Directory, ManifoldCF can certainly do the
authorization part.
