[Mapbender-users] Understanding MapBender Usage

[Thorsten Hack (WhereGroup)]

Hi Mr S,

thank you for your question.

Symfony (the application framework mapbender uses) and therefore 
mapbender itself is in general able to handle multiple identity 
providers. For example, there is an open source extension for mapbender 
that enables using LDAP-based identification 
(https://github.com/mapbender/ldapBundle). In a similar way it would 
also be possible to reuse the authentication mechanism you are already 
using in other parts of your website.

The WhereGroup does not have a set of paid extension modules for sale, 
but develops extensions tailored to each customer's demand, usually 
billed based on the development hours needed. If you want to have the 
custom authentication mechanism developed for you, feel free to reach 
out to info at wheregroup.com.

Best regards,

Thorsten Hack
