Existing db of users

Can the FileVista application use an existing database of usernames and passwords?  I was hoping to update the FileVista database automatically as users are added and deleted in another web application.

It uses its own database for keeping track of user names and passwords but it may be possible to use an existing database with some modification.

We use a custom ASP.NET membership provider against our SQL Server database.

Will FileVista work with the following settings in web.config:

<membership defaultProvider="xyz">
<providers>
<add name="xyz" type="Company.Product.Security.MembershipProvider"/>
</providers>
</membership>

If not, is there a workaround?

Membership providers are not supported but an integration can be done.

Does your membership provider know about the folders that users can access, i.e how will you assign users to folders with permissions?

The provider takes care of folder creation and permission settings.

Then, this can be done by implementing a pass-through function. This function will get the necessary information from the membership provider and build an instance of FileVista user according to this information.

If you would consider getting source code license then I would help you on this.

Let me know.
