Overview
This user model works best for smaller workgroups and organizations. It allows you to quickly set
up Contribute, create a connection to your website, define the necessary user roles, generate
connection information for the website connection/user role, and send it to users in the form of a
connection key file.
Managed connections
lets you use CPS to integrate Contribute with your organization’s LDAP
or Active Directory services, giving you the ability to add and remove user access to a website and
modify user roles without having to resend connection key files to users. You can also create a file-
based database, using an XML file to manually enter user names and passwords.
CPS is intended for larger organizations that have several Contribute users to manage. CPS lets
you add and remove users from websites and roles without having to resend connection
information. When you create a connection to a website that uses CPS, you simply add users to a
list that grants access to a given website and user role. When users access the website, CPS
prompts them for a user name and password. After entering their user name and password, they
are granted access to the website and the role you’ve assigned to them.
To use CPS, you must have a J2EE application server such as Macromedia JRun installed. To
learn about other CPS functionality, see

Using Contribute Publishing Server with Contribute
Using Contribute Publishing Server (CPS) with Contribute creates a powerful solution for
managing and maintaining your website.
CPS is a J2EE-based server application that lets you centrally manage large groups of Contribute
users. CPS includes of the following services:
User Directory service
is a user management solution that lets you integrate Contribute with
your organization’s user directory to easily manage and authenticate users.
E-mail Notification service
lets you automatically notify users about changes to web pages
within the draft review process.
Log service
lets you monitor website activity so that you can easily troubleshoot problems.
CPS also has two other services that you can extend to meet your needs or use as they are:
Simple File Deployment service
enables you to easily move files from a staging or testing
server to a live server
RSS Activity Feed service
produces a syndication feed that lists changes that occur in any
folder on your website.
The biggest advantage to using CPS is the ability to integrate your organization’s user directory
services (such as LDAP or Active Directory) with Contribute. This gives you individual control
over which user is granted access to a particular website and the role to which they are assigned.
