    Is dual member authentication possible?

    Hi Everyone,

    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.

    This appears to be close: http://our.umbraco.org/forum/developers/extending-umbraco/5378-Dual-Membership-providers

    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.

    Thanks in advance for any assistance.

    Stephen

    Hi Stephen

    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?

    cheers
