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.
