ILM "2" confirmHumanity="false"

This config setting is leftover from the early days of the product when we included Captcha support for AuthN. Setting this to true meant that users would go through a Captcha gate during AuthN, much like I had to do when submitting a comment.

I was getting ready to try out some of the various installation topologies that may be possible with ILM “2” including: separating the Portal and the Service (definitely possible), having two portals point back to the same service (I think it’s possible), when I came across the most interesting item in the ILM “2” installation guide in the section on Installing the ILM Service and ILM Portal on separate servers.

December 22, 2008

A business problem is when employees can’t execute their job duties in an efficient fashion. In fact sometimes they are unable to complete the tasks at all. Business problems are especially costly when they directly affect customers. These problems can cause cash flowing into the company to be delayed as a customer waits to place an order, or to receive goods (and hence to pay), they can cause revenue to be lost as a customer temporarily takes their business to a competitor or a finds a substitute, sometimes this leads to customers forming new business relationships and loss of all future revenue from that customer.
