Im looking at using Umbraco for an intranet and need to authenticate users based on their windows domain account. Ok, thats not so hard. Ive gone over the various blog posts about this What Im not sure of is how to manage those users in Umbraco - I dont want to leave this to be done in Active Directory. I will have different groups of users that will manage their section of the site.
Ive built other intrnet apps where I keep the users in a database, and manage those users within the app itself, yet the authentication happens with windows. I simply grab their user identity and do a lookup.
Ive got Windows auth working now with Umbraco 7 but the management of the users is something Im still not sure about.
Can someone point me to an example of using windows domain authentication yet manage users and their rights within Umbraco backoffice? The admin user needs to be mapped to a domain user as well.
Did you figure this out? I want windows authentication with umbraco site. Could you please guide me how can I implement windows authentication for my intranet site. Any help would be appreciated.
I'd also love an answer, we use Umbraco for our public website, would like to make an Intranet site in it and use ActiveDirectory authentication for the entire site, basically (front-facing and back-office).
