Per Arne Munthe	Monday 31 May 2004 8:50:12 am Hi there folks. I'm just starting to dip into Exponential and has the following questions : - How can I use an existing db of users and passwords to do the auth - Does anyone have a step-by-step guide to set up authentication on subsections of a site - ie. some sections are public, others are private tanks in advance peram
Stian Lindhom	Tuesday 01 June 2004 6:21:59 am Regarding your first question: You have a few options here... You could write something that to convert your user table(s) to Exponential' native format, or our you could convert it over to LDAP or a text-file and use Exponential' loginhandler for this. You could also write your very own login handler. For more information regarding this subject see http://www.ez.no/ez_publish/documentation/configuration/configuration/login_handler. Regarding your second question, I don't know of a step-by-step guide, but it is possible to have some sections public other private and so on (see http://www.ez.no/ez_publish/documentation/ez_publish_basics/content_management_in_ez_publish/sections for some information on this). Regards, Stian
