- Re: how to manage security between ms crm and integrated web app?
- Posted by Matt Parks on July 27th, 2004
The login name can be retrieved from the Server variables, thus you can get that
in your custom page. As for maintaining the security, you would have to write
that yourself, as you cannot extend the security model in the current release
(at least not in a supported manner).

i have a .net web app that uses role based security. roles are pulled from the
db but we can probably change this to use active directory since that is what
crm uses. is there anything special i need to do to integrate some external
pages into a crm implimentation as far as maintaining the secruity model? if i
have some pages that are only accessible to certain users based on the role they
are assigned to, how does this work between the crm app and the external pages
that are linked to from crm, as far as passing the login token around?

thanks, i guess we will have to rework our security model on our custom app. also, how easy is it to do the following in crm:
1)add a bunch of new menus within the existing menu that point to certerain external custom pages. some menus should not show up based on what user is logged in.
2) do our external pages get opened in the same crm window, or do most people make them popup windows? If we want popup windows, does crm menu support opening up as a popup?

JM:
1. Easy to add new buttons and Nav Bar items, but they will be global - all
users will see the same thing
2. CRM will allow you to launch new windows for your custom app

on your CRM web server under wwwroot\_Resources you will see a file called
ISV.CONFIG. This is the file you use to add mene options to CRM. Note that
as said before these options will appear for all users. In a standard CRM
install this file already has some custom menu items setup. To activate you
need to open up the file called web.config in wwwroot on the CRM web server
and change an entry called ISVIntegration to on. When you save this file you
need to restart the web server by opening a command prompt and running a
command called IISRESET. Once the web server is restarted and you reconnect
to CRM you will see the new menu options.
And yes your custom code can open in a new window. Check out this link
