Understanding share creation
When a Meridian Enterprise user shares a folder with a Project Portal workspace, the following steps are performed:
- The Collaboration (ProjectPortalExtension) extension retrieves the Project Portal user name and password that were entered during installation. The credentials are retrieved from a SQL Server table and then used to directly connect to the Project Portal web service, authenticate the Meridian Enterprise user, and to get the workspace and folder structures. After the share has been created, status updates occur through the GCF Remote Access Web Service as described in Understanding status updates.
