be aware, I??????m just started with looking into WebMaker. Seems to be a outstanding approach , just wondering why i took me so much time to find WebMaker.
But already a small question: I was searching for a basic authentication feature within WebMaker e.g. a table within the application should be used to authenticate User and may be simple group concept. I was searching through the forum, but couldn??????t find any tip nor anything in the help.
Thanks in advance

RE: Basic Authentication
Welcome to the Forum.
WebMaker is designed to help you build Web Applications that consist of a series of Web Pages, orchestrated using server-side Controllers. WebMaker applications are typically published within a Web App Server such as Tomcat or similar commercial and non-commercial alternatives. This enables WebMaker to delegate the access control layer to the container environment. This layer can be provided by a CRM, BPM such as BizFlow or simply configured within a standalone Web App Server such as Tomcat.
The access control is therefore managed by the container and you can read more about this on the Web because WebMaker pages are accessed in exactly the same way as any standard Web Page. You can start by searching for words such as:
"Tomcat Security Realms", etc.
You will typically configure this in your web.xml file, which will provide access control to your WebMaker application pages. If you need something more specific for access control then you can always build an application for this using WebMaker.
Eventually you will also arrive at situations when you need to make Web Service calls to remote applications to retrieve information for your WebMaker applications. Some of these services will need authentication. You can learn more about this scenario by searching for the word "Security" on the Forum and also within the WebMaker Documentation, an online copy of which you can locate using the following link:

I hope this helps.
Kind Regards
