Plug-able Authentication in Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012

I have worked in many projects involving the Enterprise Portal for Ax ranging from version 2.5. One of the biggest issue for the end customer/user has been the ability to have a plug-able authentication for EP. This has been an issue for example for customers that have other portals based on Share Point as well as custom build ASP.NET web sites. All these portals are able to share the authentication with Single Sign On, SSO. But until now with version 2012 of Ax this has not been possible since earlier versions of Ax have only supported Windows Authentication.

So in scenarios where you implement an EP site for a customer that has other portals and uses for example forms authentication, if you are not running Ax 2012 you have to have a special/dedicated log-on to EP.

One of the biggest advantages is the fact that now external users do not have to be in Active Directory mixed up with all the internal users or located in an extra AD repository with all the administrative IT work load to keep that up and running.

This paper describes how to setup forms based authentication for EP, go to download page

When extending tables we need to follow the naming rule as such: <TABLENAME><_Extension> the compiler understands the _Extensions suffix and knows that the table in question is extending a table from the standard system. This gives us access ...
