Sphinx feature Q&A - User Metadata in Store

[Fordham_Walter]

Will this framework allow for the following in version 1:

1. custom metadata for each user identity? For example (Dept, location, phone, fax, extension, etc.)
2. Possibility for single sign-in to multiple apps with application registration.
3. Also can we assume the datastore will be any XData compatible backend?

Yes. You will achieve that by inheriting from the base TUser entity class and adding your own properties.

Yes.

Also can we assume the datastore will be any XData compatible backend?

You will have a Sphinx server (TSphinxServer component) which is a XData server that provides all functionality for the authentication. Under the hood such server saves information (like users) directly in a database, using Aurelius.

Thus, yes, authentication server is XData, and database can be any Aurelius-compatible database.
