Introducing Software AG MashZone NextGen : MashZone NextGen Core Components : MashZone NextGen Repository
MashZone NextGen Repository
The MashZone NextGen Repository contains meta-data for mashables plus all MashZone NextGen mashups, views and apps, including related files for apps or views, data snapshots for file-based mashables and scheduled or user-initiated snapshots for mashables or mashups. It also contains information on users and groups, authorization policies, server configuration, macros, taxonomies, notifications and much more.
Data can be separated into three parts:
*Artifacts and Meta-Data: for mashups, mashables, views, apps, and macros. This also includes related files or data, configuration for the MashZone NextGen Server, authorization policies and so on.
*User Data: for authentication and determining authorization.
Typically user data comes from your organization's LDAP directory which you integrate with MashZone NextGen. This may also use a single sign-on solution and an identity manager. However, MashZone NextGen also has a built-in user repository which you may use. User or group meta-data from LDAP allows MashZone NextGen to relate authorization policies with users.
*Snapshots: represent the results from one invocation of a mashable information source or a mashup. Because space and other quality of service requirements can be quite different for snapshot data, this portion of the MashZone NextGen Repository can be hosted in a separate database.
Note:  
User or mashable passwords stored in the MashZone NextGen Repository are encrypted.
