LDAP authentication with custom authorisation

lsaundersDec 10 2013 — edited Dec 11 2013

Hi all,

In a new application I have started I am using LDAP for authentication, negating the need for me to manage user ID's and password combinations, which I am happy with.  This is using the out-of-box LDAP scheme.

What I also want to do is run a custom authorisation scheme over the top, so that once users are logged in and authenticated, I can control what access they have to certain parts of the application. I envisage some sort of table containing the userID and a selection of various roles/permissions, which will be added manually for anyone we want to have access.

Is this possible? Initially when people log in using LDAP I want to prevent any content access and branch to a contact page type thing advising they need to be set up in the application with relevant permissions. For anyone already set up, they would branch to the usual home page etc.

Does this sound feasible? Can anyone give me pointers on how to set that up with the authorisation and branching?

Apex version is currently 4.0.2.

Many thanks
Lee
