The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.
If you know of an easy to use, open source, search engine ... please contact support@midrange.com.
So do you have active directory set up for your network? Then use a framework that can use LDAP for authentication. Now you don't have a new set of credentials. Just access the database using a service profile.

So your app/framework stands in for the OS for authentication/authorization? I can understand that for public sites, but it doesn't like a good idea for in-house. The first problem being another set of credentials for every user.

I know Apache can handle authentication for static pages & CGI, but
what about other things like PHP, Node, Java, etc?
You'd need an application and a framework for handling:
1. Authentication.
2. Authorization.
3. Access (i.e. only show menus and menu items which users are authorized to).
4. Opening multiple apps & toggling between them.
5. Setting Favorites.
6. Defining user/group authorities to resources.
7. An API to check user authorities to resources.
This is the type of infrastructure needed to build products with ERP-type scope.
