Hello,



I am tying to set up a basic project, and I think I have it mostly there. I am a little stuck on how to set up the connections and the main StrataFrame database for security.



I have my database with all the StrataFrame security objects added to it (ie, my tables + SFSxxx).

I had a working project (usable BOs, etc), but started out with the 'with security' template this time.

I have set the AllowWindowsAuth=true

* when I try to flag a user as 'use windows auth', I am still required to enter a password for them



How do I configure the application so that login requests (and the security editor) are all handled by/routed to my application database, while leaving all the normal stuff in the main, shared SF database. After that, how can I map the user to a windows user? Ideally there would be no mapping, just group permissions assigned via windows groups. Maybe I am misunderstanding somewhat?



Sorry for the not-directly-technical question. Everything is abstracted, so I am not just setting the connection string myself which would, I think, clear up my confusion.



Thanks,

Andrew Backer

Sorry for the confusion.



How do I configure the application so that login requests (and the security editor) are all handled by/routed to my application database

It appears this is not possible. I must have one database with everything and then "deploy". Unclear how this works with >1 project using security and needing different setups.



After that, how can I map the user to a windows user?

On further reflection, windows user name probably = user name on form. Still must enter password, even if it will be ignored, which is the reason for the confusion.



Ideally there would be no mapping, just group permissions assigned via windows groups

Mapping for users must be entered by hand. No apparent a way to map win-groups to sf-groups, this may need a custom app-level hack.



"Security within the Application -> Logon - > Loggin into the Application"

I found the relevant help file. I have 3 strataframe helps linked already, this is the 4th.

The topic contains a paragraph and two screen shots, but the comment about the password being ignored is more relevant.



Still looking at what is going on. Maybe there is a nugget in the documentation.
