Using Shibboleth, Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP), and Secure Socket Layers (SSL), it is possible to limit access of your published pages to specific LDAP groups or named UB constituents.
To promote efficient, consistent communication on all UB sites, select UBCMS content can be included on non-UBCMS sites. This is a pilot offered to select sites.
Forms are integral to most websites. The UBCMS has an existing set of components to support simple forms. For more complex needs, we encourage you to consider Formstack.
Mobile users are major users of UB websites, so it is critical to know how your pages appear on small-screen devices and to optimize them accordingly (often called Responsive Web Design or RWD). Special tools preview your page for a variety of screen sizes.
Visitors can be automatically switched from one URL to another, using webserver redirects, UBCMS 'vanity URLs' and redirect pages, or third-party URL shorteners. These solve problems from previously published links or help to promote a alternate path to your pages.
RSS has been used for some time by websites to share dynamic collections with other sites and visitors. It is well suited for news or announcements and events.
Your pages can be published or taken down automatically by the UBCMS at a predetermined date and time. The UBCMS provides two methods—Delayed Activation vs Scheduling On/Off Time—each with its own pros and cons.
By adding tags to your pages, the UBCMS can automatically display your content through a variety of components. While tags can be added to any pages, they are most powerful in conjunction with Shared Content.
