Ok, then we need to setup a CentOS specific repo for Drupal with some modules (that depend on the needs of CentOS webmasters) and phpBB, to make update easier.
Whats wrong with typo3 ?
Is the decision here for Drupal being made on the basis of 'we know drupal' or is it a case of 'drupal is the best option'. I dont see arguments being made either way.
for me it is a case of 'we know drupal'. I've been using it for some time now plus I'm working on another drupal istance for the Fedora insight team. (and we are making up some nice docs about the installation process and the modules needed etc.)
First thanks for beeing interested in the WebsiteV2 project. I would like to invite you to take a look at the following wiki pages:
http://wiki.centos.org/WebsiteVer2/forums http://wiki.centos.org/WebsiteVer2/UnifyAuthentication
This is what we have already done:
http://wiki.centos.org/WebsiteVer2/forums/newbb_to_phpbb
Now we are in need of a little user management frontend to let ppl register their accounts to the LDAP servers.
This would also be possible with existing solutions, e.g. with a CMS that is capable of LDAP user management.
Depending of your skills, please either evaluate LDAP capabilities of common CMS systems or help us coding a user creation frontend.
IMHO, LDAP authentication is better in case when ifra-team needs to deploy a new web app (eg: Bugzilla, Asterisk (VoIP) etc...).
Most of modern web app are compatible with LDAP auth directly or through an extensions.
Drupal already has LDAP integration modules [1] for LDAP authentication and groups, also there is other module [2] for user registration process that create the same user in LDAP servers and Drupal users tables.
I've never deployed a such solution however I'll try this scenarios in a CentOS VM, It'll take some time because I'm not very familiar with LDAP servers (both OpenLDAP and 389/Fedora Directory Server)
