Chapter 6  Managing MeetingPlace Web 

The MeetingPlace Authentication Filter is used to provide a 
customized authentication mechanism for IIS. MeetingPlace 
system administrators who are concerned about security can use 
HTTP authentication to protect the mpx.dll file from 
unauthorized use. 

IIS requires that you use NT accounts for the authentication. 
Unfortunately, this requirement makes it necessary for 
administrators to synchronize their MeetingPlace directories with 
the Windows NT/2000 server or NT domain controller.

To alleviate that requirement, Latitude has developed a custom 
ISAPI filter that extends the authentication process of IIS. The 
filter allows users to enter their MeetingPlace user ID and 
password, which will be verified against the MeetingPlace 
database of users. If the user is validated, they will be given 
access to the NT resources via a proxy account.

Restricted access to the mpx.dll file

Enhanced MeetingPlace user login through IIS 

IIS still requires a NT account to gain access to the restricted 
resource. We will proxy all of the users through one account. The 
IIS W3SVC log will show both the name of the proxy account as 
well as the MeetingPlace ID of the user.
