WebLogic Portal / Portlet roles picked up from external source

mohanr-JavaNetDec 20 2008 — edited Jan 2 2009

Hi,

Is it possible to connect the portal to an external database to pick up roles for role-based authorization ?

Appreciate if the following points are clarified.

1. Synching the portal database with the external database( LDAP, RDBMS etc. ) when the external sources change.

2. How to upload the role information into the portal database manually ?

3. What are the different ways of connecting the portal to an external source ? We already have roles in our database.

4. Can I use the tags the portal ( WebLogic provided ) itself uses to pick up external roles and use it in a portlet ? We need these tags for field-level security.

5. Any examples.

Thanks,
Mohan
