Bricolage CMS

Bricolage is an open-source, enterprise-class content management, workflow, and publishing system that greatly simplifies the tasks of creating, managing, and publishing vast libraries of content.

Bricolage is designed to scale to the needs of the largest organizations. Scalability is ensured by Bricolage’s ability to distribute the load between separate database, application, preview, and distribution servers. Because Bricolage operates independent of the delivery of content to the final audience, your site’s front-end servers can scale independently of Bricolage. Bricolage includes support for a pluggable authentication architecture, and in addition to its built-in authentication, it has a module for authentication against an LDAP directory server. Authentication can be limited to members of a directory group, and supports LDAP v.3 and TLS connectivity. If your organization relies on a directory server, such as Windows Active Directory, Novel eDirectory, or OpenLDAP, this feature is for you.
