Re: [Hypercontent-users] HC2.0b4 integration with uPortal

[<sd...@la...>]

Hello, Alex!
I use LDAP for logon. So I see that It's not possible to use proxy channe=
l alone
to authentificate to Hyper Content 2.0. As I see proxy channel parameters=
 can
supply only UID not the password. When read the post "HyperContent 2.0b4 =
now
 available" it seemed that using proxy channel gives an apportunity to pe=
rform
authentication with means of proxy channel configuration. So I am going t=
o add
LDAP logon directly to Hyper Content2.0.
Thank you very much for advice!
