Understanding Publishing Services


If your client or organization uses a network infrastructure that uses LDAP or Active Directory to manage user accounts, you can leverage either of those services to manage access to Contribute sites as well. Contribute 3.1 offers an optional service called Publishing Services that, when installed, enables you to assign roles to network user accounts. Publishing Services can be enabled via the Publishing Services category of the Administer Website dialog box (see Figure 32.15). If you use this option, you no longer need to create user accounts in Contribute. Instead, you assign roles to users from the LDAP or Active Directory.

Figure 32.15. The Enable Publishing Server dialog box allows you to enable the services and manage users from a network user directory.


To enable Publishing Services, Contribute requires that the services be installed on a Java Application server that is accessible across the network. After the Publishing Services are enabled, Contribute is capable of performing additional services such as logging website errors and emailing administrators and publishers when writers create drafts that require their attention.

Tip
