Vidispine Authentication

Vidispine can be set as the authentication source for Cantemo using 'portal.vidispine.authentication.VidispineBackend', as an item in AUTHENTICATION_BACKENDS in settings.py. This authentication backend becomes the master. Portal users and groups are created and deleted as needed based upon users and groups in the Vidispine system:

AUTHENTICATION_BACKENDS = (
    'portal.vidispine.authentication.VidispineBackend',
    'django.contrib.auth.backends.ModelBackend',
)

You can setup Vidispine to authenticate against other backends such as Active Directory or OpenLDAP. Please consult the Vidispine documentation for this integration.
