Case study: SchMOLZ + Bickenbach
InTRANET WITH TYPO3
Global Solution with two stage access security
The company Intranet of the leading manufacturer of stainless steel products
was converted to TYPO3. In only five months, AOE media built the bilingual In-
tranet for the group’s companies worldwide. With the integration of many useful
functions for information exchange, product and document search and display,
the intranet access required particularly stiff security. The site concept was
signed off by the design agency Image Transfer.
Challenge
Not only did the comprehensive migration of German and English content, as
well as the templating for this particularly information-heavy website pres-
ent a challenge to the AOE media staff, but also the highly detailed options for
image and news material, together with a two-stage secure access system via
IP-address and login (including username and password) drew deeply on the
experience and skill of our developers. As a result, several TYPO3 extensions
had to be custom-designed to meet these demands.
Special features:
•	 A newly developed extension connects to TYPO3’s own authentication
service and compares the logged-in IP-address with that stored in the
MySQL-Databank of authorized users;
•	 A specially programmed and adapted augmentation to the News
extension compares the results with the content databank, in order to
release, store or print exactly the right file as a PDF;
•	 There is a time-operated, automatic content comparison between the
news module on the Schmolz + Bickenbach website and the Intranet.

With the new Schmolz +
Bickenbach Group Intranet, a
solution has been created to
bring the many subsidiaries
under a single, easy to operate,
TYPO3 roof. Previous problems,
particularly regarding content
updating and editing, no longer
exist with TYPO3, giving the
system a very high approval
rating with company staff.

Senior Project Manager

by staff with the appropriate user name and correct password. Employees can
find a wealth of information on company activities on the S+F Intranet. For this
part of the project alone, the programming of several adaptations was needed
especially for the news extensions in connection with the indexed search func-
tion. These extensions make it possible to so refine a search and its result until
the staffer can find and display exactly the required press release, news article,
product image or technical data sheet … and then save it directly as a PDF.
Solution
Access to the Intranet is only permitted to staff members who log in with their
IP-addresses from a pre-defined zone. To this end a special extension was pro-
grammed, which refers back to the TYPO3 authentication service and its class
index which is part of the core program, connects this to the IP-databank and
makes a comparison. Thus IP-addresses which are open, in other words not yet
in the pre-defined databank, cannot be used to access the Intranet. However, this
stage only ensures the staffer “general access” to the Intranet content. Sealed
areas for individual departments at Schmolz + Bickenbach can only be accessed
Result
Current news and press releases via news extension, an agenda per calendar
extension, as well as a link to the latest edition of the company magazine on
the Intranet homepage: the many functions included in this particularly secure
Intranet solution guarantee fast and in-depth information to all the concern’s
employees. And thanks to the integrated and detailed product search, not only
company novices find all the answers they need.
