Marco Zinn	Tuesday 02 September 2003 12:37:32 pm Someone can give me a nice hint for that? When I install 3.2 using the installer and select more than one package, I must select one distinct DB for each package (read: each siteaccess). How is user handling done then? In which of the databases are the users stored? In each one individually? Hmm, what I need is a setup, where users are registered in one place, but we need at least 2 or 3 Designs. Should this be done with 2-3 siteaccesses or 1 siteaccess, one database and 3 sections... Can I assign a Design to a section? I think, no. So, the question would be: How to set THIS szenario up? What I need is more or less a setup as in the demo-sites of 2.x or 3.0 or 3.1: Different designs with ONE database (and thus one user management). Marco http://www.hyperroad-design.com

Users are stored with each database so their is no communication between each. However, using ldap may be a solution if you need to keep them seperate. If you need 2,3 designs you need to determine if siteaccess is the route you need to take or to use sections. A single database will suffice. Paul
