• Intranet and public internet are the 2 most commonly seen use cases o Not the only use cases however!
• Other use cases are typically variations of these two o These architectures can still serve as a reference for
other use cases
• Key differentiator is whether content is: o R/W via portal – closer to intranet use case
or o R/O in portal – closer to public website use case
