OK, that's a huge bummer then, because the client will feel like there's an entire Laserfiche module they own, but cannot use due to the product's technical restrictions.

To summarize the client's set up (which is quite common btw):

• Forms and Web Access are on the DMZ because users need to access them from both inside and outside the network, the latter without having to VPN in.
• Both internal and external users access the DMZ web server for anything Laserfiche-related.
• The DMZ doesn't have access to Active Directory (for obvious security reasons)
• Since Active Directory isn't an option, all users have repository named accounts.
• We want to deploy Laserfiche Discussions on the DMZ as well so that employees can participate in discussions even when they are out and about (again, no VPN)

How can we get this setup to work? Are there any plans to allow repository named user accounts to use Discussions?

At the very least, we would like to be able to explain the technical reasons why Laserfiche Discussions works only through single-sign-on via the Directory Server. So if you can share that info, we would appreciate it.

Also, are there any plans to add support for named Laserfiche accounts at the Directory Server level? I feel like everything is being more and more tied to Active Directory, which severely limits deployment options in many scenarios. It would be nice to be able to create username/password accounts at the DS level and leverage them anywhere in the system.
