I have several instances of TC 7.x on windows, running the same in-house
developed application for different outside customers. Those instances
are each tied to a specific database, and cannot talk to any other dbs.
My in-house users occasionally need to log into the application instance
for a specific customer to do administrative tasks for them, and the
authentication is tied to the specific instance they are working with
(the database for that instance). I am trying to work out a way of
letting them log into any instance with a single "master" login, which
would require all of the instances to authenticate against the same
server/source/whatever you call it.
I can only come up with two options: LDAP authentication against my
Windows domain controller, or a separate database that any of the
instances can connect to. I know either of these would require
additional code work, which isn't a problem, and I have a good feel for
what's involved in db authentication.
But I don't have a good feel for LDAP auth. How difficult is that to
get working in TC 7.x?
I am also open to other suggestions that I might be missing.
Thanks for any help!
Dave
