Automatic Authentication like Sharepoint?

[Bankboy]

Hi, currently when a user of my company goes onto our sharepoint intranet, it automatically detects the user and knows what files they are allowed to see and what they aren't. We wouldlike to create a more user friendly intranet with Dreamweaver, but we really want to keep the automatic authentication.. is it possible to have something like this on a Dreamweaver intranet?

Dreamweaver is not a platform. It's an HTML editor. Something like WinWord.



(I suspect this is an IT disaster in preparation)

There is a good chance you can teach your Dreamweaver website to respect your Sharepoints method of "user management". Might require a bit of glue to get the two systems to play friendly but it can always be done. If you have a budget be sure to post an RFP I am sure there are some cats around here who could work a solution to your delima. Then you could publish items to your intranet website using dreamweaver, possibly even deploying a few copies of the little DreamWeaverLiteUserInterfaceClientIDon'tUseDreamwe averSoIDon'tKnowProgram. To let other departments publish more intimately to the intranet site.

First question you might ask yourself is why, and what is it that Sharepoint isn't doing for you that you hope to add by using "dream weaver". Don't reckon you with your "intranet" site was pretty or anything, so what is your real reason for trying to use Dreamweaver, but anyway. If you really just want a Dreamweaver-updated website on your intranet that can secure some "members only" resources or "user specific" functionality based on a database of users maintained by another system. It can be done.

I never said dreamweaver was a platform. I said we have sharepoint and we don't like how it looks so we want to use dreamweaver to make the pages more user friendly. My question was, and still is, a compatibility question. Would we lose the automatic authentication?

If you are so smart and confident in your own abilities that you can pass judgement on me and riducule me, just give me the answer to the question. You are the type of person who creates an unfriendly environment on forums that are supposed to be used for sharing and education. Or just learn to take your time when you read so you don't make assumptions on what the question is.

PS. Got the answer from another more friendly and helpful forum. No, they are not compatible. Thanks for the warm welcome Kamen, and the administrators can thank you for me not returning to this site.

Well, maybe I misunderstood something, but when you say: "Dreamweaver intranet" it would be likely to assume that the Dreamweaver is the platform running it. Or at least that's what I have understood.

Anyway. If the dreamweaver HTML editor would not break the underlying code, yes sure, you can edit. This would not make the Intranet a DreamWaver intraner though. Because if you edit the HTML with Notepad, it will be not, you know ... a Notepad Intranet.
