    Using AD for Umbraco Site- Is it Possible?

    Hi,

    I am enquiring to see if it is possible to create profiles within an Umbraco site so the user can have:

    • Related content
    • A Profile
    • Job Information

    All retrieved from Active Directory within the front end of a site?

    This is down to a new project for an intranet and want to see the capabilities.

    Any help or advice would be very helpful!

    Hi Gary

    Yes, Umbraco comes with the concept of Members.

    https://our.umbraco.org/documentation/getting-started/data/members/

    This can be used to give identity to visitors to the Umbraco site.

    Members is built on top of the .net MembershipProvider, so you can plug in your own implementations, eg instead of using the built in Members section you could use Active Directory for this.

    There are quite a few packages where people have integrated AD with Umbraco and Membership: https://our.umbraco.org/projects/developer-tools/active-directory-providers/ https://our.umbraco.org/projects/backoffice-extensions/umbraco-active-directory-authentication/

    And there is even a proof of concept of using Asp.Net Identity with Umbraco Members; https://github.com/Shazwazza/UmbracoIdentity

    This is also a great article about the different way of working with Umbraco Membership: http://24days.in/umbraco/2015/membership-apis-investigation/

    regards

    Marc
