Hello all,
Background
Most of my experience is with .NET and the JavaScript API, so I still consider myself 'getting started' with the AGS Flex API and and ArcGIS Flex Viewer in a production enterprise environment.
Questions
I am curious in hearing from the AGS Flex developer community what you are all using for your web application's 'security framework' and how you are creating logins for authenticating to your Flex API web apps or ArcGIS Viewer flex apps? Application-level security features may include:
1. login control to authenticate into ArcGIS Flex Viewer or custom web map using Flex API
2. authorize authenticated users to view specific widgets they are authorized to use in the ArcGIS Flex Viewer or custom web map using the Flex API. Non-authorized users won't see widgets they are not authorized to use.
In the past, I've mixed the .NET Membership Framework with the Javascript API. While I am aware of patterns regarding mixing Flex with a .NET backend for security or custom non-GIS web services, I'm interested in any non-.NET options that Flex developers have been successful/happy with. Just interested in learning something new too 🙂
Thanks!!!
