The third day at Dev Con 2008 cont'd
2nd Session: HEC302: Deploying Content Infrastructure in a Web Content Management Environment
Speaker: Paul Stork
This session was informative because the speaker went behind the curtain on how to properly deploy web solutions in MOSS 2007.
The agenda for this session:
• Content versus Infrastructure
• Automated Content Deployment
• Configuring Content Deployment
• Infrastructure Deployment
- Creating SharePoint Features
- Building and Deploying Web Solution Packages
Knowing the difference between Content and Infrastructure is essential to successfully deploying solutions. Configuring content deployment involves paths and jobs. The last sentence sounds a bit out of place when talking about Content Deployment, but proper context is everything. Proper context can be found here http://www.sharepointblogs.com/lovedjohnysmith/archive/2008/03/25/moss-2007-content-deployment-options-comparison.aspx and here http://blogs.technet.com/stefan_gossner/archive/2008/05/28/pimp-my-content-deployment-job.aspx. Selecting the correct Security Deployment Options is extremely important in deploying content and Paul stated the options are "All, Role Definitions, or None". An overview of what is deployed, the steps for deployment, a final wrap up of building and deploying solutions, and much needed demonstrations were included in this session. I gained a lot from this session.
4th Session: HSC301: SharePoint Personality Disorder: FBA, ADFS, LiveID, NTLM, Kerberos, LDAP
Speaker: Robert Ginsburg
This nicely titled session was extremely long and detailed on the various types of security in a MOSS 2007 environment.
I provided links to web resources to keep this post from getting too dry. Enjoy!
