External API Access
I am working on a project that involves creating a remoting service for a Flash application. I want to create some custom methods that leverage the API functionallity. I am wondering what the workflow would be to setup the service as a "user" in order to programmatically query the tree via the CMS.CMSHelper.TreeHelper or CMS.TreeEngine.TreeProvider. Do I need to establish a connection and autheticate in order to use the SelectNodes method? This project will be external to the site installation as it uses a service gateway (WebORB) to allows Flash Remoting.

Thanx in advance.

RE:External API Access
Hi,

Here you can find more information about how to use our API outside - http://www.kentico.com/docs/devguide/using_api_and_cms_controls_out.htm

You do not need to authenticate the user. Morever, Kentico CMS is a standard .Net web project so you can define and use the services as usual.

If you will have any problems with it. Could you please describe us with more details what functionality you want to achieve?

Best Regards,
Juraj Ondrus
