I don't know offhand whether CMF uses a common user store (db) between sites, or perhaps it is storing the site context with the user record so that user1 on site1 isn't automatically a user on site2. If it's doing that, then the code would have to be tweaked to ignore which site the user is authenticating for. That would be a Bad Thing. Otherwise it sounds like storing users externally in a common store (LDAP?) for all the sites would be the solution to your particular case. I don't develop nor run CMF so I hope this isn't (yet more) bad advice from a newbie. -Patrick Price Russell Hires wrote:
Hello everyone,
I don't know if it's documented, but I had a problem with CMF dealing with the same username on different cmf portal sites that were on the same server. IOW, I could click on the "Join" link, as user "Rusty" for CMFsite1, and be added; but if I try to join as user "Rusty" on CMFsite2, then I get an error. This is bad. Should I file a bug report on this? And is there a work around?
