I'm just getting started with MP. I like its architecture, feature set and philosophy much better than DNN. I'm thinking that MP would make a great framework for a small project I've started at work. I'm hoping to get MP working as a small part of my work's much larger intranet. Authentication is handled exclusively by the intranet. My first thought is to get the intranet username, passthrough and log in to MP. When the intranet is finished authentication, control would go to MP and I have an authenticated username in a variable. If I can get logged into MP, then I would just use the normal feature set to add users to roles, etc.

I'm hoping I might get some advice on how to proceed. I currently have checked out the source code and it is functioning properly in Visual Studio 2008.  I'm not sure if there is a hook into the MP security layer or not. Should I create my own membership provider and replace mojomembershipprovider? Maybe there's a better way?

Thanks in advance....

Shoot, I started to describe the security system a little and then thought better about putting info like that in a public forum.

Can I explain privately? scottlholmes@gmail.com

Hello,

I was looking at the Authentication Scenarios and was hoping to see some info on authentication using database authentcation. (Documentation not finished in this section yet).

I need to set up a SingleSignOn scheme between a mojoPortal machine and a web server using standard .NET authentiation/membership systems. The code on the other server is not ours and we can't change it. But we do have access to some web.config info. I'm hoping we can change the membership provider info without bringing down the other server.

The question is: if I set the other web server to the mojo membership provider is there any chance that the other server will still work?

Has any one done single-signon between Mojo and .NET servers?

Any insights are greatly appreciated.
