Hi Folks,
there is one use case where customer want to validate internal user (Ad user) to get validated against Ldap and External user to be validated from the portal DB while login to Portal 3.5.
Do we have this capability in portal to simultaneously accommodate both functionality at same time? if yes, then how do we do that.
Do this functionality exists in Portal 4.x and above version? if yes, can anyone share the process.
Regards,
Grajesh Chandra
Hi Grajesh,
It's unclear to me what the use-case is in this discussion, sorry about that. Do you mind clarifying it for us? I think you're essentially stating that a customer may want to validate that authentication to the Portal is working, for both internal and external users where in this case the external users come from the local Portal database and the internal users come from the external Active Directory identity provider - is that correct?
On the assumption that my understanding above is correct, then I want to make a few notes that should help you out in this scenario:
Regarding if this is also possible on 4.2, it really depends on what you are wanting to achieve and where the identity sources would be (and what protocol they will be using). I'd suggest reviewing the documentation in this case and if you have specific questions on that afterwards, please feel free to ask them here. For your convenience, I've included a few pages from the documentation that may be good references for you here too for 4.2:
I hope the above provides some insight and next steps, as well as sufficient documentation to hopefully answer any remaining questions that may come up. But definitely feel free to ask anything else in here related to authentication in 3.5 and 4.2 around the use-case of testing authentication.
