Forms Public Portal

asked on August 6, 2018 Show version history

Hi,

So here is the scenario.

First...

Currently, our Forms Portal is installed inside our network, and users can access the forms via a link on our intranet home page (these are for internal users only). We want to move the Forms Portal to a server in the DMZ, so that the public can access different forms from a link on our Web page. We still need our users to be able to access the internal forms from the link on our intranet, however the public should not have access to these forms. How can this be done.

Second...

We are a municipal government for a county. Our Laserfiche is also shared with other regional municipalities within the county. They also would like to make forms available to the public via links on their own Web pages. They have their own Laserfiche servers and databases. Their licensing comes from us. Is there a way that these other regional municipalities can also utilize our Forms Public Portal?

We have already accomplished this with the Weblink Public Portal. Laserfiche was set up on the public portal, and repositories were added for each of the regional municipalities. Any documents that are added to certain designated directories are automatically copied via a workflow to their respective repository on the public portal. Then this information is made available to the public via links on their Web page. This works fine, as it goes in one direction only. The repositories setup on the pubic portal server cannot communicate back to the the internal Laserfiche servers.

Any insight to how to make our single Forms Public Portal accessible from the other municipalities would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks, Robert

The Forms Public Portal license cannot be used in that way. The license can only be used for one server and one database, so if you put it in the DMZ and your internal users are unlicensed, then they would need to use the DMZ version and all their forms would be visible to the public, or if they are licensed, the internal forms would need to be restricted access only to hide them from the public portal assuming both are using the same database.

Of note, even if your forms instance is using the public portal license, you still can select WHICH forms are published publicly through it. So you wouldn't have to make every single form public.

Right, I just meant if the internal users are not licensed, then he wouldn't be able to restrict any of the forms.
