Secure Password-Protected Extranets

Tribiq CMS allows you to rapidly create and deploy areas of your website that are only accessible by a select range of users. Tribiq CMS includes extranet functionality as standard, also known as a Secure Website or Password-Protected Area.

It allows you to make a section of your website private, or so that content that is reserved for the members of your extranet. You don't need to make any modifications to your web server, Tribiq CMS will handle the privacy and security of your Users, Groups and Content for you.

An extranet acts well as a private online document store, a private learning environment, or simply a private website, allowing you to manage your important files through the content management system and only allow access to certain individuals or groups.

Some organizations use an extranet like this:

Allow the secure area to be embedded in a public site; so you can have some public areas before visitors get to the secure area Give everyone their own account, then you can identify each user as the log in, you can compile statistics, you can give them personalized content (documents for example), they can view their profile (and update it), they can recover a lost password Organize users into groups: this is not always necessary (for a simple installation), but by grouping people you can easily define which groups can see what content Back it up with a full management system, so that site administrators can see and control what's going on; you can view and edit user data, and ultimately grant or withdraw access Implement the right signup policies: do you want customers signing up for free? or do you want an administrator to approve or even create every user? we can implement any policy you can specify

Most Tribiq CMS Clients appreciate the value that a CMS Extranet has added to their website for the following reasons:

1. User Management Interfaces are already included.
2. For data-protection, you control which Administrators have or do not have access to extranet user information. You can also determine who can read and export user data, and who can change it.
3. Information on a Tribiq CMS extranet can be updated, edited and changed instantly - just like any other Tribiq CMS page. All authorised users have immediate access to the most up-to-date information and you can embed the extranet pages in a Tribiq CMS Template.
4. Extranets can improve relationships with key groups, providing an accurate and information-rich document repository that people world-wide can access 24/7.
5. The extranet is Open Source, just like the rest of Tribiq CMS.
