Customizing Authentication

[Andy Lambert]

We are trying to create a single authentication from our
non-Project Server intranet portal that will log users
into Project Server at the same time, or when they click a
link from the portail into a Project Server driven view
(i.e. Tasks)
Can anyone direct me to information on how to do this?

I have read the Microsoft Project Server Components and
Authentication document on msdn
(http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?
url=/library/en-us/pdr/pdr_mpscompauth_3363.asp) which
gives info about the relevant DLL's, etc; however, it
doesn't provide a roadmap for customization.

Thanks for any help you can provide!!

Sounds like you are trying to do Project Server's job for
it. It automatically logs people in based on their
Windows logon account. Anyone with IE access can view
the information. If you are trying to avoid licensing,
it won't work, baecause anyone who ends up viewing data
will have to have an AtiveX control downloaded to their
desktop before being able to view data. The best way I
can think of is to create an ASP page with the data you
want people to see and just passsword protect the page.
