    Can Umbraco ... ?

    Appreciate that this may be the wrong place to post, but I cannot find a better place...

    We need a CMS that allows integrated login with our web applications.  We have customized DNN in the past, but are looking for a, well, better, alternative.  I have tried mojoportal (sorry!) and it offers much of what is required, but for comparison, I am finding it difficult to see if Umbraco can do the same.

    Firstly I know Umbraco is a CMS and therefore will not offer some out of the box - I am not afraid to code some of below:

    Can Umbraco:

    • Offer registration of users with syndicated systems like LDAP/OpenID etc?
    • I can see OpenID in the DB, but where are all the settings for above?
    • Can if support created user profiles with profile info (possibly media) including 'mypage' concepts
    • If so, how do you add this to a page?
    • Can it run a form creation wizard for polls etc?
    • Can it force W3C standards?
    • Is this forum YAF - if not is it in Umbraco?
    • Is the lack of stored procs a performance issue?
    • Is the lack of stored procs a security issue and if not why not? (Injection!)
    • Am I trying to make Umbraco do something it was never designed to do?
    • Can Umbraco scale to say 20,000 registered users?
    • Does the API support registration of users via a web service?

    Thanks in advance...

    Yes, the Umbraco membership model can be replaced with anything you build on .NET.
    • I can see OpenID in the DB, but where are all the settings for above?

    It'll come down to your implementation to what's in the DB.


    • Can if support created user profiles with profile info (possibly media) including 'mypage' concepts

    It comes down to your implementation, but there's nothing that'd stop you from using the Umbraco API for creating pages when you create a user.


    • If so, how do you add this to a page?

    There's plenty of doco on the forum and wiki that covers doing this.


    • Can it run a form creation wizard for polls etc?

    Contour will do that.


    • Can it force W3C standards?

    No, Umbraco does not touch your HTML so it's up to you to make your templates w3c compliant.


    • Is this forum YAF - if not is it in Umbraco?

    Its not YAF, it's a modified version of uForum.


    • Is the lack of stored procs a performance issue?
    Subjective and irrelevant.
    • Is the lack of stored procs a security issue and if not why not? (Injection!)

    No, all SQL is escaped.


    • Am I trying to make Umbraco do something it was never designed to do?

    No idea what you're trying to do so subjective.


    • Can Umbraco scale to say 20,000 registered users?

    Yes.


    • Does the API support registration of users via a web service?
    If you code it will
