<h2>Introduction</h2>

<p>This section contains notes about how to integrate <strong>Content
Access</strong> with other modules.</p>

<p>I have not tested these myself, so I do not guarantee that the
suggestion collected below actually work.  They are just to keep the
links to the workarounds posted somewhere on the web in a single
file.</p>

<p>If you spot link rot, or wrong information, on this page, please
report it using the project's
<a href="https://drupal.org/project/issues/content_access">issue queue</a>.</p>

  
<h2>Varnish, Cachewall</h2>

<p><em>Varnish</em> and other cache systems such as <em>Cachewall</em>
by default will delete cookies before they reach Drupal, so everybody
becomes an anonymous user. This precludes access to private file
attachments.</p>

<p>Below are settings for <em>Varnish</em> to prevent this for some
file types:</p>

<pre>
# Always cache the following file types for all users. This list of extensions
# appears twice, once here and again in vcl_fetch so make sure you edit both
# and keep them equal.

if (req.url ~ "(?i)\.(pdf|txt|csv|png|gif|jpg|ico|swf|css|js)(\?.*)?$") {
  unset req.http.Cookie;
}
</pre>

<h2>Views and Workbench</h2>

<p>If you have problems intgrating <strong>Views</strong> and/or <strong>Workbench</strong>,
in particular in connection with the  “<em>View own unpublished content</em>” permission,
one of these links may help:</p>
