Security can be used on YSM sites to restrict access to an entire site or one particular directory, or structure group, of a site.

There are three security options available to use via Tridion: CAS, Generic, and External User Security.

  • Using CAS, the Yale University login system, access can be limited to all NetID's or only certain NetID's, or any combination of those parameters.

  • The Generic security option allows you to create a custom username and password that users will need to enter the secured portion of your site.

    • You can create just one custom username and password or multiple possible entries that will grant access, whatever best suits your needs.

  • The External User Security option allows you to use Auth0 to give more secure access to users outside Yale who do not have a NetID.

The following section of instructions provide information on how to use Tridion and the Profile System to apply Security to a structure group.

Security: CAS and Generic

You can use CAS and Generic security options without setting anything up in the Profile System.

External User Security

Using the Profile System and Auth0, you can set up Security for External Users and apply it to websites and structure groups in Tridion.
