Anyway, I have a project that will need to allow around 10,000 users (or less) to access at least a million documents. Each user is grouped into one of a small handful of access levels (determined by cookies). The documents are pre-existing PDFs, spreadsheet et al. I.e. they're all static.
The big question in my mind is how to handle this number of users. Is each one to be authenticated? If so, my gut feeling is that that none of the standard userfolders will be much help.
Is Login Manager "standard" in your book? If yes, could you elaborate why it might not be capable to handle 10000 users with a sql-backend? Negative experience? I ask because I'm going to do a project which might involve also as many users. cheers, oliver
