Application Depot Usage Examples:

Managing people is one thing but managing applications requires delegation, security and ease of use. With Application Depot IT Managers can pair specific users with specific web applications. You can grant access to everyone or to no one. Application Depot also tracks which applications are used, by whom and how often, this allows me to determine which web applications are highly valued among our users and which ones we can do away with completely. This type of user and program tracking also helps us decide which application servers need to be backed up more frequently and where we need to be spending most of our resources.

When I develop a PHP application or any web based application I used to have to write every program with security in mind. I would have to think about who would be accessing this program and how they would acccess it. Then on top of all of that, I would have to maintain users and passwords. Application Depot handles authentication on ALL levels and also connects to more than one LDAP system. With authentication and authorization for all web programs taken care of I can focus on the applications core functionality.

The controlled environment AppDepot creates makes it possible for web application developers to fully modularize their applications.  Instead of developing a wholly contained application with administrative, reporting, querying and maintenance capabilities, an application can be separated into its constituent parts.  Each component can be developed independently and deployed inside AppDepot.  This reduces the difficulties with modification, testing and maintenance of the entire application. The components are tailored for the user (role), simplifying and expediting the development process. By employing this methodology an application will evolve into a series of smaller applications each suited for a particular need, yet loosely tied together as the complete application.

I downloaded Application Depot to use at my real estate firm. It was easy to install and with it I can control who accesses what in our company. Our agents get access to our internal marketing websites but they are not allowed to see the financials of the company. Our accountants have full access to our bank records and accounts but they can not see the human resources department that contains personal information about all employees. Our human resources department can view HR documents but they in turn do not have access to the financials or payroll stubs.
This is all possible because of Application Depot. If you need to secure documents and need a central place to grant access this FREE OPEN SOURCE application is for you!

I log into Application Depot daily. I work for a Collegiate Educational Institution and I log into Application Depot with the same user name and password as my school email and my school employee account. What is very nice about Application Depot is that it is tied to our University's LDAP system which means that when I change my password for my school account every semester I can simply log into Application Depot with my new password! It is great to only have to remember one password and one user name for everything I need to do at work, school or anything inbetween.
