Authentication in page
ocmeng
Hi All,
I am newbie to TeamSite and ECM in general. Recently, I had been assigned to work on a TeamSite project and there is some problem which required guidance and hints from all the expert here.
Here's my problem:
There are some contents (consists of PDF, doc files) which are confidential and only accessible by certain groups of people, so there is a need to set up some authentication mechanism (mininum username and password which stored in database) for those confidential information.
Any idea on how can I implement this requirement?
Thanks in advance for any hints and suggestions.
Thanks.

In a common WCM(WebContentManagement) tool implementation Teamsite would come into picture only after you've retrieved the files from the DB and in the next stage you want your authors to collaborate and deliver modified content.
But your requirement is more document/files centric, so maybe a CDM (CollaborativeDocumentManagement) tool like Worksite is more suited for your requirements.
With the info that you've provided even with both these interwoven products the piece of DB user authetication And the direct File retrival and injection would require writing custom code Eg. through a worflow external task that calls a perl or a java class....

thanks for the reply. There should not be a problem to write a simple java class for the authentication purpose. However, how can I send the authentication status (success/fail) back to TeamSite for next action? As usually success will route the user to the intended page while failed will remain on the same page.
e.g of the code below:
public boolean getCheckUser (username, password){
...
...
return status;
}
is that possible to call getCheckUser from the page and then let TeamSite handle the redirection?
I am still abit blur on TeamSite... thanks for any hints and suggestions.
Thanks.
