The MCIS Membership System is the foundation of the MCIS 2.5 server suite. It integrates with other MCIS services to make it easy for CSPs to manage and deploy internet services for a large-scale membership community.
Membership provides a way for CSPs to authenticate users and authorize access to services.
Membership is also integrated with personalization capabilities so that CSPs can tailor their services to the interests and needs of their membership. The Membership Directory is the central repository of user data for MCIS 2.5, including personalization profiles, internet security information, and address book information. Membership Directory is extremely scalable and was designed to support 10s of millions of users. The Membership Directory supports a single master replication architecture. The Membership Directory has an extensible schema that enables customers and 3 rd party solution providers to add value easily.
