I work for a company that uses ASP.NET 2.0. We have a resource page that we use to find information such as error messages, annoucements also procedures etc. Just like a department style wiki. But i am stumpped on if Umbraco can be used that way. We are limited to several things for this type of new resource wiki ( WIKI i use because thats what they call it here). Limited to Not having a user name and password and wants to keep that closed off for users. Only have it on the back end other wise we would have to intergrate that with Active directory which would be a nightmare. Also want this to be where if new info comes to us any user can sumbit a change request but it would go to the admin for review and approval. I have more but want to start with that and maybe someone one or even a UMBRACO dev can answer that for me i really like the look of this compared to our wiki now and this would be a huge leap. BTW also the search function must work right now we have a search feature that doesnt do a damn thing. Hope someone replies. Thanks.
You can password protect a subdomain using IIS. Or you could restrict it to a specific IP - such as your companies internal IP.
Under the umbraco Projects area, theres at least one project for integrating Umbraco authentication with Active Directory. Umbraco uses the standard .NET authentication, so it's fairly straight forward.
Or using thr web.config Authorisation config, you could allow/disallow specific users or user groups.
For handling new data requests you could either: A) Create a form using Contour, which users could submit to tell you of requests changes. B) Create all those people who need to submit requests as Users, but only limit them to being able to Write content (theres a Writer user type set up which allows users to edit and propose content, but NOT publish) Then make your own user account an Editor - as Editors are the only ones who can publish content.
To be honest, it sounds like you want something like MediaWiki.
If you want to continue with Umbraco - read the documentation and watch Umbraco.tv for more information on Umbraco's capabilities.
