Ok this is week 2 for milestone 2 and my group has been working on our CMS' and following a skeletal mockup. What I said last week was that now, for milestone 2, we need to have certain things working perfectly within our CMS'. E.G. - CAS Login through UH and Admin and Student home pages. But SilverStripe again is giving me problems and I have to change certain things within the code.
I found a module called External Authentication which can use an outside source to login. It uses authenticate against an LDAP server, Active Directory, a mail server, or some other external source. Now it is not as easy as some other CMS that just works right away, so I have to look more into depth on how to work this login process.
Just looking for this information is taking a lot of time just to get it working. I think this is because SilverStripe has not expanded that far and fast yet so there is not much modules that can just plugin and have it working.
I am still having fun working with SilverStripe though, and learning things that I did not know. Maybe all these things that I have to look up in order for it to work will benefit me in the future because then I would know how to fix it.
