Domino Blog Template Question?

Hi,

I want to start an internal blog in our organization with the Domino Blog Template. It’ll be hosted on the Quickr Server which runs on Domino. To be clear, it’ll be on Domino Blog template and not the Quickr’s blog template.

Quickr uses our primary mail server’s (Domino 8.5.1) LDAP service for authentication. Now i want all the blog users to be authenticated from the same LDAP server (only for writing comments on the blog). How do i do this? How do i add all the users into that URL?

Also can i have a subscription list in Domino Blog where user can subscribe to the blog and they will get email notification when a new post is posted on the blog?

Can some one help me? May be steve castledine:)

Thanks.
