I hope I have this in the correct area (this time).
I have been reading for a while now about custom logins etc. But I have not come across anything exactly matching what I am looking to do. I just want to be sure I can do it, and I am not heading off in the wrong direction.
I basically have a dual membership model, in other words I need to run two authentication systems (sharepoint and Umbraco) against different databases to authenticate members to the site for the same access across the site.
What I technically need to do is as follows:
-------------
Test user agains Sahrepoint login (using Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) and SOAP)
If fail then
Test user against Umbraco members
--------------
I will basically have to share my session cookie with the Sharepoint server, so anyone authenticated via sharepoint, will not need to login a second time if they go to sharepoint.
Other than that I don't need to do many clever things, they basically access the same data etc will be a few pages where they need to access different links but that's about it.
The problems I have seen with most of what I have read is that when you use a 3rd party authentication system this effectively renders Umbraco system useless.
Can someone please confirm if they think what I am trying to do about is achievable or not please. If you can point me to any examples that would be fantastic.
I am not sure if its the correct place but I came across your post while researching alternate membership authentication in v7.
Have you managed to figure out the WCF based authentication as an alternate method? I cant seem to find a simple example that shows how to get it going in a sample VS project. Do you mind sharing your findings?
Is dual member authentication possible?
